Who it's for
A godchild, or someone being confirmed or baptised. It's a keeping gift rather than a display one, which changes how you choose the book.
Which book to use
A worn bible or hymn book, if folding one doesn't sit wrong with the recipient — ask first, because for some people it will. A book of psalms or a family bible past reading condition is the usual compromise.
Where it ends up
Usually kept rather than shown. If it is displayed, it sits with the other keepsakes from the day rather than as a standalone piece.
How long it takes
Five letters is a weekend. Christenings are usually planned months ahead, so there's rarely a rush.
What FAITH does under the folds
The I is the problem letter: a single narrow column that can vanish between the A and the T. Give FAITH a thicker book than the letter count alone suggests.
Every sheet of a folded book shows exactly one band, so a letter is only as detailed as the number of pages behind it. At 300 pages, FAITH gets roughly 30 sheets per letter. If your book is thinner than that, the Book Fit Check above will say so — and offer splitting the word across two books, which is often the better answer. See choosing the right book for how to check page count before you buy.
How many pages do I need to fold FAITH?
About 300 pages. FAITH is 5 letters, and each letter needs roughly 60 pages — about 30 folded sheets — to stay crisp. You can go as low as 200, but at that thickness the strokes start merging into each other.
Which book should I use for FAITH?
A worn bible or hymn book, if folding one doesn't sit wrong with the recipient — ask first, because for some people it will. A book of psalms or a family bible past reading condition is the usual compromise.
