Instructions for marking and folding each leaf
Marking
Start with the book in front of you as if you were going to read it.
Turn it anticlockwise once to the left so the spine is nearest you.
Open the book to the page you are going to start on.
Measure from the top edge on the left down the page and mark the two
measurements in pencil.
Mark the instruction on the instruction sheet before moving to the next instruction.
Complete all instructions then go back to the first marks to start the folding process.
Folding
Fold the left side in at right angles to the first mark use a ruler to get a good angle to
the spine.
Fold the right side in to the mark using the ruler as a guide.
Make sure each fold is well creased.
Some folds may not be possible at right angles, fold to the mark and crease at the
angle it forms if the page touches the spine make a small fold into keep the page flat.
When all folds are completed you should have an evenly shaped heart.
