Book Art - DIY Tutorial to create your pattern with any image for photo strip book art
In this tutorial I explain the process to create your pattern using Libre Office and then I show the process (with tips) in applying the image to the book pages. I use Libre Office, but the process is the same with Excel.

Thank you so much for watching! I haven't been able to create it myself in a spreadsheet, however I had an app developed where you upload the image, enter height in inches, and total number of pages and the program does it all.

I found your video quite interesting. However there were lots of glitches putting it into the excel as for the column width in excel. It is 6.0 To get the half inch wide columns. It definitely took me a while to figure that out once I did. I was able to get my picture installed and it printed out perfectly with the number of pages in my book. Your video is very instructive and i'm sure will help others.

Thank you! I may have referred to program as Excel in one place in the video. I used LibreOffice where you can set the columns in inches. Excel is a little different. I'm glad you were able to figure out the width in Excel!

I’m confused as Google Sheets show 143 strips but excel says 286 which doesn’t make sense. When I followed the excel sheet it wanted to print out 28 pages yet on Google Sheets it was 14 sheets

@shelleyhozalski9437 3 дня назад

I’m a crafter that likes to try all new things. I heard about this craft while going to garage sales. One of the homeowners was selling some crafting supplies & we got to talking & this is how I started searching for this on RU-vid. I also have a Cricut & read your comments and saw someone had asked you about it. Have you figured out how to make it work using a Cricut? Also, when using your Fotobookart website it asks for the last odd page. What about the extra pages in the front & back of the book; do we include those pages? Do you also have where you can also do the top of the pages in your website program? Looking to do a book for an 85th birthday celebration coming up mid July so wanting to get this going. I found a book at one of the garage sales titled Happy Birthday by Danielle Steel in mint condition and going to put a pic of her family on it! Thank you!

@CraftedSweetly 2 дня назад

That's awesome! Glad you found my videos! I thought about it some more after that viewer suggested it, and I think it would take longer for the Cricut to cut it than me cutting it with my Cutterpillar. Plus, I would be concerned about lifting the strips off the sticky mat as they could curl, tear, etc. It's just faster by hand overall. Additional pages at the front or back, can be added to the total count, which is what I do because I like to use up all the pages. For the top of the book, it's the same program; the top would just be another pattern - I have a video for front/top design. I have videos on about every topic. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

@sins_disaster293 Месяц назад

This is so cool. I might sound silly by asking this, but you don’t lose part of the picture? Say if you cut 1 inch strip, and only a millimetre of the picture on that strip shows on the edge of the book and the rest of the image is folder and tucked in between the pages, don’t you lose the inch of the strip minus the tiny bit that is sitting along the very edge of the page? If that makes sense….

@CraftedSweetly Месяц назад

The image is stretched and you don’t lose any of it. Turns out perfect

@natalieallen1311 3 месяца назад

I've have Microsoft Excel and Libre Cal. When i made patterns and printed, the pics look kinda pixelated. Will this affect the look at the foto edge?

It can. If the image is not high resolution, that’s how the final book will look too. Should be sharp

@Purpleshade50 Месяц назад

Excellent explanation, but is it really necessary to use a spread sheet? it seems the only reason is to get even strips cut, or am I missing something

@CraftedSweetly Месяц назад

Thank you! It's to get even strips, but with a spreadsheet you can also easily number the strips using formulas and also create the tick marks to help know where to cut.

Wow! I just found out about this type of art and your video. Have you considered using a Cricut machine to do the cutting & scoring for you?

I just might try this out one day!

@CraftedSweetly I'm a retired IT professional, and logic and efficiency were my Forte! I run my own crafting and embroidery business, and I've always thought out of the box with all the self-taught knowledge I've acquired. I learn something new EVERY day! And THIS was that new thing 🎉. So, as I watched your video, and having experience in 3D papercrafting, it was natural for me to watch you using familiar tools... the scoring board... and since I own 5 cutting machines, and have the scoring tool for my Cricut, watching your Excel process (which is genius) my brain just blended all these skills together for a potentially automated, efficient, consistent process. 😁 Of course I had to mention it, you're the expert of the current process, and would be able to advise if you thought it might work. If your sharing knowledge with us, only fair to reciprocate.😊 😊😊 I would love to know if you test it out!❤

Diana - I wonder if you, or anyone else reading this, could help me solve a frustrating problem that I can't seem to fix? When I set up my picture in Libre Calc. I place it in Row 2, which in the case of the current book I'm working on, should be 9". When I check the height of Row 2 it shows that it's 9", but when I print it, Row 2 ends up being 8 5/8" or 8.625". I thought it might be a problem in my printer settings, but this happens on any printer I've used. I've played with the margins and I make sure that I'm not scaling down before printing, and this still happens. The only way that I seem to work around this is by adding the difference of 0.375" to the row and resizing the picture to fit. Then it prints at 9"

@@karenkillips9115 I was actually using Libre Office not Excel. I do have that corrected in the description box of the video, but not in the video itself (where I said Excel). Excel, does not have the option of inches for column width unfortunately. I believe it's points or pixels - can't remember. There is a way to modify the column with to inches, but it's a little more involved in explaining. You should try Google Sheets if you want to make your own pattern, or I have launched a web based app that would create the pattern for you ($2.99/pattern). All you have to enter is the book height, number of pages and photo and the pattern is created. It also has the ink saver feature, so you can save on ink when printing.

When determining the height and width of a photo on excel, should either the "lock aspect ratio" or "Relative to original picture size" be checked. My height is 9 inches, my width is 129. What should i write for scale height and scale width? Thanks!

@CraftedSweetly Год назад

No - neither should be checked. You want to be able to enter the height and width yourself. The height will be height of the book and the width, the number of pages in the book divided by 4. Hope that helps.

@CraftedSweetly Год назад

Technically by 4. You're using 1 strip per leaf (page 1 and 2 use the same strip) so you divide by 2 and then each strip is 0.5" wide, so you divide by 2 again. Not sure if you're aware, I now have an app that creates the patterns for you...fotobookart.com. all you have to do is upload image, enter # of pages and height of book in INCHES. It's $2.99 and it creates the pattern for you, regular or inksaver.

@debbieragsdale2785 2 года назад

How do you determine the number of pages needed? I have done many folded books with patterns so am experienced but not sure if there is a special way to determine this.

@CraftedSweetly 2 года назад

For this, you can use any book - there isn't an exact number of pages you need because you base the "pattern" on the number of pages in the book - so you're working backwards in a sense. Having said that, too skinny and the image will look skinny, too thick, and the image will be distorted and wide. I would stay stick to books in the 275-400 page range. But you can do it with less and also with more.

Happy to help! You take the number of pages in the book and divide by 2. That gives you the number of leaves in the book that you need strips for. Take the number of leaves and multiply by 0.5" (width of each strip) and that gives you the length of the picture. Example: book has 400 pages. Divide by 2 gives you 200 leaves. Multiply by 0.5" gives you 100" length for picture. Hope that helps!

buongiorno, ho provato con excell ma la mia foto, sul libro, e' troppo schiacciata. come fai a regolarti con le pagine e l'altezza del libro? grazie

@CraftedSweetly 2 года назад

How many pages does your book have? I have found that books that are 280-400 pages work great. Fewer pages and the image is too stretched and skinny, more and it's too squashed looking because it's stretched out horizontally. Hope that helps.

bonjour, je voudrai le faire avec un livre de 20cm de hauteur et de 206 feuille comment dois je faire pour la hauteur de la photo meci

@CraftedSweetly Год назад

The height of the photo will be 20cm. I also have a web app where you can just enter the specifications for the book, upload the pattern, and it will create the pattern for you. If you use the app, the height has to be entered in inches. The 20cm would be 7.874 inches. The app is at fotobookart.com.

I'm not sure which numbers disappear? You have to highlight the columns (A,B,C, etc) and right click, then change column width. The numbers in the first row should remain. You're just changing the width of the column. Hope that helps.

What paper is best to use for this process

@CraftedSweetly 2 года назад

I used copy paper for a couple of them and it looked fine, but it made it a little harder to work with. The last one I did I used glossy brochure paper (thickness about 50-60lb). Much sharper and easier to work with - definitely prefer that one.

@CraftedSweetly 2 года назад

Glad you figure out the other things - sorry I missed your other questions. To make it 9" edit the photo size by right clicking on the photo and set height to 9". You'll have to make sure the margins to the page are set to 0.25" for top and bottom otherwise it won't fit. As is it might be tight. you might need to print on an 11x14" page. Alternately, you can print it 8 or 8.5" and add a ribbon at the bottom or some type of border. Hope that helps!

My confusion is.... If you have 143 leaves and only need 143 "strips", why do you have 286 columns? isn't each column a strip?

@CraftedSweetly Месяц назад

Each strip is 1 column and I have 143 columns. They''re numbered with odd numbers only, so it's looks like 286 columns, but it's actually just 143, since even numbers are skipped.

@laurasanchez2389 Месяц назад

I think she does that to know exactly in what page she is going to apply each strip. She inputs a formula which adds 1 to previous number. Then she only uses 143 columns, not 286. The number at the top of the column is a mark to apply the strip, not a consecutive number.

@karenobrn96 Месяц назад

@@CraftedSweetly Yes, I can see that the columns are only numbered with odd numbers (skipping the evens-which make total sense.) Your video shows 286 columns with only odd numbers... which to me means 286 columns vs 143, one for each for each leaf/page. Thanks for all your video and answering my silly question. I'm going to give it a shot. 😊
