Paperfolding in the Boy's Own Paper
 
This page lists articles about paperfolding which appeared, over the years, in the 'Boy's Own Paper' magazine.

BOP 718 of 15th October 1892 contained an article 'How to Make a Cardboard Cube' by John Chesterman Smith. The cube was made by the cardboard modelling technique and I have not recorded the article here.

BOP 1401 of 18th November 1905 contained an article titled 'How To Fold A Suit of Clothes' by C Horner. Although this sounds possibly like paperfolding it was in fact about how to fold items of clothing.
