I love my Alex IKEA drawer unit. In addition to storing my materials, I have an ideal surface to put stickers and replace them easily! (enlarged view HERE).

It’s time to start making your DIY Xmas gifts!
284 book folding patterns available on the shop.
Recently, I have been regularly asked about the computer tools I use for book folding or cut and fold.
Here is (very quickly!) the story:
– Isaac Salazar is an artist who used books to transform them into art sculpture.

The hardest part was to find a picture/theme for each month.
Find the detailed tutorial on the first book post HERE.
