To create your personalized book origami gift:

1. Download and save the PDF file. You will upload this file when creating your personalized, origami book project.

2. Go to Lulu.com > Create > Print Book and select the style of book you wish to create. The book origami pattern was designed for a 6”x 9” page size. You can choose to create a hardcover or paperback version. Both are fun projects. The hardcover version displays nicely on your bookshelf, but a paperback version is just as fun to fold with the same results.

3. If you are feeling fancy, choose the dust jacket format, which allows you to choose a color for the book’s cover and add foil stamping to the spine.

4. Save money by choosing the Black & White print option.

5. Click Make This Book.

6. Enter your Title and Author information on the next screen. The title and author name you enter here will be printed on your book’s spine.

7. Choose Keep Private as your distribution option – unless you plan to offer your book for sale in the Lulu bookstore. Do not choose the Sell Everywhere option since this book will not qualify for retail distribUpload the PDF file of the origami pattern.

8. For the cover wizard, you can either create and upload a cover using the dimensions displayed in the cover wizard or use the cover creation wizard to choose from various templates and cover design layouts to personalize your cover.

9. Complete the project and purchase.

10. When logged into your Lulu.com account, you only pay manufacturing cost plus tax and shipping when ordering books you have created.
