Accordion Pages Folding Steps

Book Cover Step by Step

We used an empty, thin, cardboard cereal packet and cut out a piece that was approximately 5.3 inches x 2.6 inches piece.

If you want to cover the cardboard cover with PVA (White School Glue) and cover it with construction paper/tissue paper/or even fabric

Flip it over and d the same, folding your backing material in to cover the cardboard neatly.

Finally place the accordion pages over the top, in the center and leave it to dry completely. Then fold up and start writing or drawing in your very own mini book.

cover the card in glue

place tissue paper or similar over the top

We added a few layers

Turn it over and fold in the edges to meet the card with more glue

Glue the central part of the cardboard and place the accordion pages on top and leave it open until it is completely dry.

These are our finished books, what will you make?
