Creative Paper Folding: Transform Your Art Into a Little Book Folder

​

Learn how to transform a single painted sheet of Baohong watercolor paper into a beautiful, handmade book folder in this step-by-step mixed media tutorial.

Starting with a 10"x15" page painted with Masha’s Watercolors, I guide you through adding layers with stencils, mark making, and intuitive design before folding the sheet into a functional and artistic little book.

Whether you’re new to bookmaking or love turning your art into something tactile, this easy paper-folding project is perfect for your creative journey.

Looking for the supplies I used? I’ve listed all my favorite and most-used materials on one easy-to-update page here: https://2lilowls.com/favorite-supplies-for-mixed-media-abstract-art/

(Some of the links are affiliate links. If you use my link, I get a small commission, which will go toward my art supplies and to support this channel! I appreciate your support!!)

Note: I don’t list individual supply links on every post any longer, simply because keeping up with that for each video or project took more time than I have. Instead, I’ve created one easy-to-browse page where I’ve listed all my favorite and most-used art supplies. It’s always up to date, and a great place to find what I’m working with most often.
