These miniature Blizzard Books measure approximately 1.75 × 2.5 inches. The pages are folded from Sumi Art Paper (washi/rice paper). The orange book, including both its pages and cover, is folded entirely from the same handmade paper from India. The covers for the other three books are folded from screen-printed designs on recycled newspaper by Norman's Printery, which I believe are no longer available.
I followed the instructions in Hedi Kyle's The Art of the Fold to create both the Blizzard Books and their pleated-closure schoolbook covers. Everything is made entirely by folding—no sewing, glue, or staples required!
Paula B. Krieg also offers easy-to-follow tutorials for both projects on her
YouTube channel. In one video, she explains how to calculate proportions,
customize the Blizzard Book/Card Carrying Case, and in another demonstrates the folding process. In another, she shows how to fold the Pleated Closure Book Cover.
