Things to Know
Hamburger Fold-Fold horizontally Hotdog Fold-Fold vertically
Dotted Lines-These are the cutting lines.
Accordion Fold-This fold is like making a paper fan. Fold on the first line so that title is on top. Turn
over and fold on next line so that title is on top again. Turn over again and fold again on the next line
so that title is on top. Continue until all folds are done.
Cover Labels-Most of the booklets that are folded look nicer with a label on top instead of just a
blank space. They will be referred to as “cover label.”
Folder 1
This placement key tells you the booklet goes in the first
folder at the top of the left flap. A booklet placement key is at
the top of every booklet page. This key shows where that
particular booklet will go in that folder.
How do I know where to place each booklet in the lapbook?

Folding a Lapbook Base
Gather the number of folders required for the
project. Fold them flat as seen here.
Original fold line
For each folder, fold the left and right sides
inward toward the original line to create two
flaps. Crease so that the highest part of each
flap is touching the original line. It is important
not to let the two flaps overlap. You may want
to take a ruler and run it down each crease to
make it sharper.

Glue your folders together by putting glue (or
you may staple) on the inside of the flaps. Then
press the newly glued flaps together with your
hands until they get a good strong hold to each
other. Follow this step to add as many folders
as you need for your project. Most of our
lapbooks have either 2 or 3 folders.
