How Fore Edge (Photo Strip) book art works

With a fore edge pattern, your picture is printed in thin strips. Each strip is added to a page, and when the book is closed and fanned the strips line up along the edge of the pages to reveal the full image. It looks impressive and makes a lovely personal gift.

What you’ll need

  • A hardback book with enough pages for your pattern
  • Your printed photo strip PDF
  • Sharp scissors or a craft knife and ruler
  • Patience, as there are a lot of strips

Tips before you start

  • Check your pattern’s page count before choosing a book
  • Keep the strips in order as you cut them
  • Watch the whole video once before you begin
