Transform an ordinary notebook into an extraordinary work of art.
Book Folding "The Diary" is more than a notebook—it is a creative experience that allows you to transform an simple book into a beautiful work of Book Folding art with your own hands.
Designed by internationally recognized Book Folding Creator D.Hinklay, this unique edition features printed Pattern Marks on every page, making Book Folding enjoyable for beginners as well as experienced enthusiasts.
Unlike traditional Book Folding, there is no need to measure pages, calculate folding positions, or create your own patterns before you begin. Simply follow the printed Pattern Marks and use only three simple fold patterns to gradually reveal D.Hinklay's original Triple Question Mark design, created exclusively for this edition.
You may begin folding the book immediately as a blank notebook, or first fill its pages with your diary entries, notes, memories, sketches, or stories before transforming it into your finished artwork. The choice is entirely yours.
Easy-to-follow instructions for all three fold patterns are printed on the back panel of the book jacket and in the instructional pages near the back of the book, making the folding process simple and enjoyable for everyone.
