This technique shows how to make double sided tokens by folding each side of the token onto each other. So there is no mounting and the tokens will end up pretty thin. The example I am going to show is made of multiple strips of double sided tokens, so I will do 1 strip at a time instead of doing tokens individually. It makes gluing more easily. You will need the following material

• Cutting Mat
• Exacto knife
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Bone folder
• Book Plastic

1. Plastify the surface: I did not take a picture of that because I did not plastify my tokens, but I strongly suggest it because you are going to get stuck with glue on your hands and you might stain your tokens.
2. Separate the strips: Cut the print-out to separate each strip of tokens.
3. Fold the strip: There are many ways to fold this. What I did is that I fold a bit the front by following the line with my bone folder. This is to make sure that when I fold if on the other side, I don't make a false fold. Then I fold the back following the previous fold. I them fold it completely making sure each side are aligned. Then I use the bone folder to fold it.
4. Place the glue: Unfold the strip and place some glue with the stick. Glue stick are good if you are not gluing a large surface since it dries really fast. When there is glue everywhere, fold the strip and press with a bone folder to remove excess glue and make sure everything is pressed correctly.
5. Let it rest: Check your glue and check the drying time. Let it rest for that amount of time.
6. Cut the tokens Cut each tokens with a pair of scissors. You now have double sided tokens.
