Magic Book from an old folder experiment



This is something of a side project and an experiment. I have several folders and folding books that I need to decorate to make more "fantasy". This is one of the 2 basic folders I have and am working on. I forgot to take any pre picks of the blue folder, but you get the idea.


Below are the basic card additions I have made, on top of these I will be adding finer card details then use PVAcrete to fill any gaps before painting. A very similar approach to the large storage box I made several years ago.

The drawings will be the details I cut in thinner mounting card to create further relief.


I am using this crap old folder I used for notes when I was a teacher because its that or toss it away.




Opened out both back and front.


Will try to post some progress on this next week.

    1. Thanks very much Wouter, I have an idea how it will look but you never know it could all go wrong. (You can tell I'm an optimist can't you) I like props too and I hope this is one which I can repeat use :-)
