INTERLOCKING ACCORDIONS

 The May NORBAG workshop will be taught by our member from Victoria, BC, Mary Conley. The Interlocking Accordions structure is a variation of a book by Kit Davey. Mary describes it as being "fairly easy to make". As you can see from the following photographs, the structure is perfect for showcasing art or photos.


Materials:

Two (2) long accordions
  • One is 4.5 inches tall and 30 inches long. This is the illustrated part of the book. It needs to be folded into 10 pages that are 3 inches wide. Lightweight paper, like wrapping paper, is recommended.
  • The second accordion is 4.5 inches tall by 24 inches long. A stiffer paper is suggested...like cardstock. This piece needs to be folded into 8 pages that are 3 inches wide.
PLEASE FOLD THE ACCORDIONS PRIOR TO THE WORKSHOP
  • Bone folder
  • Xacto knife or box cutter
  • Pencil
  • Eraser
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick
  • Template: Cut from cardstock a rectangle measuring 4.5 x 3 inches.
