The Folded Muse: Volume 1 – Sketch-Zine for Creative Rebellion

How to Fold Your Sketch-Zine

Grab your printed volume of The Folded Muse, clear a little space, and follow the folding tutorial video below. With just a few easy folds and one cut, you’ll transform a flat page into a pocket-sized creative journal — ready for sketching, scribbling, and playful rebellion.

How It Works

Each volume is a printable sketch-zine, designed to fold up into a pocket-sized portal of creative play. With gentle prompts, mischievous mark-making, and space to get messy, these are for the rebels, the doodlers, the overthinkers — and anyone curious to meet themselves again.

Step 1: Fold the Muse
Follow the video below to fold your sketch-zine into its final, pocket-sized form. Origami vibes, zero stress.

Step 2: Snip & Share
Cut out the QR codes and leave them like little creative breadcrumbs — gift one to a curious friend, or hide them somewhere fun.

Step 3: Make Your Mark
Grab a pen, a pencil, your non-preferred hand — whatever you’ve got. This is your space to scribble, explore, and rebel against perfection.

Step 4: Show & Tell
Snap a pic of your muse in the wild and tag @the_curiosity_coach using #thecuriositycoach #thefoldedmuse — we’d love to cheer you on!
