I’m not sure what to call it exactly, so if you have a name for it, let me know in the comments! This handmade folder is simple to build, using cloth and board, but it can be easily adapted into something more complex with closures, decorative coverings, or custom inserts. It’s a great project for bookbinders, paper artists, or anyone who wants to create a refined home for loose prints, drawings, or documents.
