Hungarian Map Fold

Yesterday I posted a picture of a book that I thought used several turkish map folds. But they aren’t. According to several people on my facebook page, it’s called an hungarian map fold. Since the picture I posted showed the opened fold, it was straight-forward to see how he’d made it. It’s sort of the turkish fold rotated. I made several and glued them together…. (directions for making the fold are here.)

But the best discovery is that they fit together very nicely. This picture shows 4 folds nested together. I made them out of square sheets that are 2″, 3″, 4″ and 5″.

Nested hungarian map folds

Several years ago I posted a picture of this lovely book by Katherine Glover called Green Salad. I’ve wondered how it was made, but haven’t spent much time thinking about it. The nested hungarian map fold might be it.

  1. Loving the Turkish, Hungarian map debate—I’m going to be teaching a workshop next year in Morocco and I’m calling it the Moroccan folded map…..:-)
