Make a pocket-sized booklet.

I don't remember where I first saw this, but it's a useful trick for making a small note-book from a single piece of paper, maybe for recording revision notes on.

I know I saw this before... They called these things by a certain name... Ah yes! Basically, you fold it in half, cut it halfway through in the middle, then you fold it like... Yeah I agree the instructions are gonna get rotten if you were to put it in words...

Oh, wow...we did things like this in my printing school imposition class!
Definitely a winner in my book! =D

Nice combination of traditional instructable and video. The video is short and to the point - very effective.

Now, off to make a booklet!

Thank you!

I don't get it.... why make a booklet out of an A4 paper with 16 pages, while you can make a booklet that is the same dimension as this one, also out of A4 paper, but with 32 pages...

[Kiteman]

The pages don't fall out of this one, and the content can be printed on a single side.

If you're desperate for 32 pages, though, just turn this one inside out when you need to...

I remember making something like this back in kindergarten! Thanks for bringing back great memories :D

Ingenius! This appears to have been covered by xgenisen but the video adds another level of clarity, and should bring in a few more views for Instructables from Youtube!

I hadn't seen xgenisen's version, but it illustrates the reason I went for a video - he needed seven steps, I needed 63 seconds including captions.

In reality, it could be done with one step, but depending on how drawn-out you want your 'ible to be the more concise / longwinded the product will turn out. For example, my most recent took a step to fold a piece of paper in half. Excessive? Yes, but for such a short 'ible it wasn't too detrimental. (I hope...!)

Very good, pocket-note-booklet.
Saw this and your purple face first thing this morning after Prince Valiant.

I have some task remembering most recent num subscript of you for my
