Cutting Out Your Cards

Tools You’ll Need
The true paper enthusiast’s tool for folding paper is called a bone folder. Although they used to be made of bone, the ones you’ll find in stores are made of plastic. A bone folder isn’t a huge investment, but it’s definitely worth having one.
You’ll also need a straight-edge ruler, a cutting mat, and a guillotine cutter.
Process for Folding Paper
Folding paper is a two-step process. First you score the paper, which means you run the bone folder across the paper (with a straight edge) to create a crease. Then you fold the paper along the crease.
You’ll notice that the paper folds naturally along the crease to create a perfectly straight fold. No wobbly folds!
After folding the paper, you can run the edge of the bone folder along the crease to help the fold lay flat.
