FAQs
Is this tool safe for acid-free paper?
Yes, the bone folder is inert and safe for use with all standard scrapbooking and archival-grade papers.
Can this be used on fabric?
While designed for paper, it can be used to crease seams in lightweight fabrics, though results may vary compared to dedicated sewing tools.
Does it have a sharp edge?
It is designed with a rounded tip to prevent cutting or tearing paper, ensuring smooth, crease-focused results.
What are the exact dimensions?
The tool measures approximately 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches.
Is the material flexible?
The folder is made from a rigid, durable material designed to maintain its shape while providing enough glide to prevent friction damage to paper.
Troubleshooting
The folder is leaving marks on delicate paper.
Reduce the amount of pressure applied and ensure the tip of the folder is free of dust or debris.
Creases are not staying sharp.
Ensure you are using a consistent, firm motion along the score line; for thicker cardstock, score the paper with a separate scoring board before folding.
Adhesive buildup on the folder.
Use a specialized adhesive remover or a damp, lint-free cloth to gently buff away the residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no setup; it is ready to use immediately out of the package. It is compatible with almost all types of paper, including vellum, cardstock, patterned paper, and origami sheets. To maintain the folder, simply wipe the edges with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any adhesive residue or paper dust. If the surface becomes sticky from crafting glues, use a non-abrasive cleaner or a gentle wipe to restore the smoothness. Store the tool in a clean, dry place to prevent the material from warping or accumulating debris that could scratch future projects.
