    Six Pocket Keepsake Book with Jody Alexander

    Chapter 1 - Introduction
    Overview
    (bright music) - This is the six pocket origami book. This is a wonderful little folded book that is
    really just kind of a little pamphlet book, but it has six pockets. It has one on the front, one kind of
    secret one here in the middle, and then two inside, another one in the middle, and another one on
    the back. And you can glue down those little corners of it if they pop up. This is all made from one
    sheet of paper. There's all sorts of papers that work well for this. Be aware that it really folds down
    from a large piece of paper, so this folds down from a large piece of art paper, like a Canson or a
    Strathmore. And it folds down to about an eighth of its size, so just be aware of that. I'm gonna
    show you the folding technique for a six pocket origami book. (bright music)

    Chapter 2 - Materials
    Materials and variations
    - This is a half sheet of the art paper. You could also use a map. Using a paper that's printed on two
    sides is really nice, because then you get printing all the way through it. I wouldn't do that on my
    first time, because maps already have folds in them and you might get mixed up on which are your
    folds and which are their folds. This is from an atlas page. An old, out-of-date atlas that I used. And
    that came out really, really nice. I'll show you what happens when you fold a one-sided piece of
    papers, you get a lot of this white space. So, be aware of that. This is a really nice marbled piece of
    paper that I had, but only marbled on one side, so now I'm having all this white space that I don't
    love. This is just a little tiny book that's folded down from an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper.

    Chapter 3 - Create Book


    Fold six pocket keepsake book
    - I'm going to show you the folding technique. This is a half piece I've already torn this piece in half.
    I'm going to take it and fold it in half. All you need for this is a bone folder. That's the only tool that
    you'll need. So I'm going to use my hands to fold, but then also use my bone folder to help me really
    crease down that fold. Just once in one way is fine. You don't have to keep folding it back or fourth
    or anything. Open it back up. And then we're going to flatten it out. And you're going to meet the
    edge to that centerfold. And again I use my fingers to start down my crease, but then I use my bone
    folder to get the crease nice and crisp. You could open that back up again. Meet this edge to that
    centerfold. Use the bone folder. Open it back up again. Now we're going to fold in these short edges
    just about a half of an inch. That's a real approximation. You don't really even have to measure, but
    if you doing a smaller piece of paper, you might want to make that more like a quarter of an inch; a
    larger piece of paper about a half an inch. So again I'm not even going to measure, I'm just going to
    fold it down about a half an inch. It really doesn't have to be terribly exact. I use my bone folder to
    help that crease. I'm going to do it again on the other side. Just use my fingers to kind of guide it to
    hopefully keep it pretty straight. If it's a little crooked, it's okay. Alright so this is what we have so
    far. Now we're going to fold down each of these corners and we're going to meet it to the fold.
    We're going to meet this edge to this fold. We're going to do that to all four sides. Again using my
    fingers and the bone folder just really helps you get that crease nice and crisp. So we're getting
    there. Alright, so this is what it should look like now. We're ready to just fold these in. This fold is

    already created so you're just, you know, folding where you've already folded. Make sure everything
    at this point is nice and crisp. Alright, then we're going to flip the whole thing over. And never, it
    doesn't hurt to just keep boning down there. Okay, so now we're on the side where you don't see
    any of the folds and we're going to do, again, about a half an inch or maybe even for this side it's
    about five eighths of an inch fold on this edge. So if you feel more comfortable measuring, you can
    do that, or you can just kind of eyeball it. Which I really like to do. Just eyeball it. So I'm just kind of
    using my fingers to crease, and then my bone folder to make that nice and crisp. And now you're
    going to start seeing it take shape. So now this is what we have. I'm going to fold this piece in half
    that we have that already has a lot of folds in it. And we're going to meet that to the top. And again
    crease it with the bone folder. This piece of paper is a little thick but it works fine. If your paper is a
    little thicker, you're just going to have to work just a little harder. Alright, so now we have these little
    corners to tuck into; however, if you just tuck them in now, you're going to have kind of this
    bulkiness here that doesn't quite fit. So what's suggested that you do, before you tuck those in
    there, is that you pull this pocket just a little bit to the center and you're re-creasing this just a little
    bit. Just a little bit. So it's going to fit in there a little nicer. Okay, and I'm going to do that again. I'm
    going to pull on this corner of the pocket. I'm just going to pull it in, get my bone folder, and just
    give it kind of a new little crease. And it's really not noticeable, but it really helps the whole book fit
    together here in the end. So after I fit that in there, I am again, just going to use my bone folder to
    help crease this down. And now we're ready to fold the whole thing together. And there, we've got
    our six pocket origami book. If you're worried about these popping out a little bit, you could just put
    a little bit of glue. A little bit of PVA glue in there, and let it dry for a little while and those will really
    stay nice and tight.
