✂️ Crafting Tool Spotlight: The Bone Folder ✂️

Ever wondered what that sleek, ivory-coloured tool is that pops up in so many cardmaking and papercraft videos? That’s the bone folder, a true must-have in any crafter’s toolkit! 💌

🔹 What is it?

Traditionally made from real bone (but now often plastic or Teflon), the bone folder is a simple hand tool with a smooth edge that helps you crease, fold, and flatten paper or cardstock with precision.

🔹 Why we love it:

Create crisp, professional-looking folds

Burnish adhesive for strong, clean bonds

Score cardstock without tearing

Smooth out bubbles in glued areas

Add polish to envelopes, boxes, and 3D projects

🔹 Bonus uses:

It’s not just for papercraft! Bone folders can also help with bookbinding, origami, vinyl transfer, or even smoothing out fabric seams in a pinch.
