We will work on it for two class periods and let it dry over the break.

How to make an Accordion book An accordion book is a book where you can use the front and the back to write or put prints on. We are going to put one of each of our prints into this book. You may have to trip some of them to make it work.

Step 1 Accordion your paper so it is bent back and forth like a W every 5 inches.

Step 2 Take your two pieces of 5”x5” cardboard and your two pieces of 6”x6” scrapbook paper Glue the cardboard into the center of the paper

Step 3 Cut the corners of your scrapbook paper as shown below.

Step 4 Fold down the flaps of paper and glue them into place.

Step 5 Glue your cover to each end of the accordion paper. Note: If you would like more pages in your accordion book use longer paper or make additional accordion papers and glue them together.

Step 6 Add your favorite prints to your accordion book.

Studio Time Finish your accordion book Pick your favorite prints and cut to fit them into your accordion book. If you have empty pages because you don’t have as many prints to put into it than you will fill those pages talking about what you could do in the future to make your prints better. This is due at the end of class today.
