How Inverted Cut & Fold book art works

Inverted Cut & Fold is our most popular style. Each page is measured, marked, cut and folded so the design sits recessed into the pages, giving a carved look when the book is opened.

What you’ll need

  • A hardback book with enough pages for your pattern
  • Your printed PDF pattern
  • A ruler, a sharp pencil and a craft knife
  • A cutting mat to protect your table

Tips before you start

  • Check your pattern’s page count before choosing a book
  • Use a fresh, sharp blade for clean cuts
  • Watch the whole video once before you begin
