hi everyone anat Kesler here with a new
0:13
video tutorial and today I'm going to
0:15
show you how to make a blizzard book uh
0:19
you have a link to the measurements in
0:21
the description under the
0:23
video I want to apologize for my voice I
0:26
have a little cold so that's that so
0:30
we're going to start with our
0:33
binding and we're going to fold the
0:36
paper in
0:39
half it's really easy no scoring needed
0:42
and then each half we're going to fold
0:45
in half
0:47
again so one side and then we're going
0:52
to fold the other side in
0:57
half and then we'll have four
1:01
panels each of the
1:04
panel each of the panels we're going to
1:06
fold in half again so at the end we're
1:10
going to have eight
1:16
panels and this will be The Binding of
1:20
the blizzard
1:22
book so the best thing is to fold it
1:25
like this fold to fold
1:30
that will be
1:36
accurate so again you'll have eight
1:40
panels at the
1:45
end Let's Fold it one last
1:53
time and I recommend using a thin paper
1:58
not a card stock
2:01
and then I want to fold all the folds in
2:04
an accordion
2:05
shape like
2:09
this okay so the next
2:13
step you have our eight panels the next
2:18
step is to start folding the corners so
2:21
what we're going to do is start folding
2:23
the
2:24
corners like this so we're going to
2:27
start from the first panel
2:31
and fold the
2:34
corners to be aligned with a straight
2:37
edge and I'm going to pull it down take
2:41
the
2:43
next panel actually it's two panels cuz
2:47
they're back to back
2:48
folded and we are going to fold the
2:52
corners the same way in the same
2:58
direction and we're going to continue
3:00
this with all the other folded panels we
3:04
do this while the accordion is
3:09
folded and this is why we want a thin
3:13
paper because of all the folding if you
3:16
would use a card stock it will be just
3:19
too
3:22
difficult we need to make sure that
3:24
everything is
3:28
straight so working with a thin paper is
3:32
the
3:33
best and then I also use my bone folder
3:36
to burnish all the folds and make sure
3:40
that the creases are nice and
3:47
crisp
3:48
okay so that was wasn't straight
3:59
your time with the folding so it will
4:02
be accurate and then the last
4:06
panel going to fold the same
4:15
way okay so now we have all the corners
4:22
folded and we're going to open all the
4:24
folds and fold them in the other
4:27
direction because we need the paper to
4:30
go both
4:32
ways so
4:34
just reverse all your folding to the
4:38
other direction and burnish them with
4:40
your fingers and your bone
4:48
folder this will make sure that the
4:51
binding will be nice and secure
5:01
okay last
5:06
panel okay so now that we have all the
5:08
corners
5:10
folded like this this is what you should
5:14
have we are going to open
5:18
everything open the
5:21
paper and now you have these triangles
5:25
you need to
5:27
push excuse me the
5:30
vertical fold
5:32
line and
5:35
fold the triangle towards the inside
5:39
like this on both
5:45
sides and of course the
5:50
last Corners also fold them inside like
5:53
this so this is what you should have at
5:56
this stage
6:00
so now we're going to open it and then
6:03
fold the little triangles
6:07
down like
6:11
this and then of course burnish your
6:14
folds really well and they should be
6:17
straight and we're going to fold the
6:20
bottom triangle up like that and then
6:23
we're going to open the next page so to
6:27
speak and again fold the top triangle
6:30
down and the bottom triangle
6:36
up just a little bit of folding but then
6:40
you'll have a really cool
6:45
result so we're going to continue with
6:48
all the
6:49
folding of the
6:56
triangles the bottom one as well
7:05
and then we have the final
7:13
one
7:17
okay
7:19
so now we have room for
7:24
four pages they're basically going to be
7:28
double pages
7:32
and we're going to pre-cut
7:35
them and fold each page in
7:39
half I'm using white paper but you can
7:42
use any color that you
7:45
want for your
7:51
pages so I'm going to fold each page in
7:54
half
8:02
again no
8:03
measuring just folding in half pretty
8:10
easy and then burnish your fold with
8:13
your finger or your bone
8:16
folder now we're going to bind the pages
8:22
with the cover so we're going to open
8:25
the triangles insert the page and fold
8:29
the triangles back on the
8:31
page then we're going to repeat this
8:34
process with all four
8:39
pages open the triangles insert the page
8:42
in the center aligning it with the
8:46
fold and then close the
8:48
triangles and basically this binding can
8:51
be with no glue at
8:56
all I want to show you that what I'm
8:58
doing with the pap pages I like to glue
9:01
them but you really don't have to
9:05
because this is basically your blizzard
9:09
book isn't that fun but you can take it
9:13
a step further and glue those backto
9:18
back pages and create little
9:20
pockets that is really fun and adds a
9:24
lot to your
9:25
book so I'm just applying glue to the
9:28
top and the bottom of the pages that are
9:31
back to
9:33
back and then I'm just going to attach
9:36
them create a little
9:40
pocket so that's completely up to you
9:42
you can do this with all the pages or
9:44
just some of the
9:48
pages and then you can glue the other
9:51
Pages completely with no pocket at all
9:53
or you can just leave them unglued that
9:56
is completely up to you
10:03
creating another
10:05
pocket if you want to be able to remove
10:08
the pages and then put other pages in
10:11
then don't glue
10:14
anything because as you saw there is no
10:18
gluing in this binding and you can
10:20
remove the pages but if you want to
10:22
leave it permanent then you can go ahead
10:24
and glue it like I did so that's
10:26
completely up to you
10:31
so I'm going to cut my
10:34
cover my front and back
10:38
covers these are just little tags that I
10:41
can
10:43
insert into the
10:47
pockets makes it really
10:51
fun add another something to the
10:56
book okay this is really fun so if you
