To make a folio, take a sheet of paper, fold it in half along the long side, and place it before you with the fold to the left. Write page one on the page facing you. Turn the top page and write page two on the inside left-hand page and page three on the inside right-hand page. Finally, turn to the back page and write page four. There you have a folio.

The size of your folio will depend on the size of paper you started with. Seventeen inches by eleven makes a nice folio.

To improve your bookbinding skills further, make four folios, nest them inside one another and staple or stitch the sheets together at the fold. You will notice that the outside most folio has pages 1,2,15 and 16 on it, the next one in has 2,4,13 and 14 and so on. If you are printing a "gathered" folio like this on a printer, you must be careful to print the pages in the correct order.
