Concertina Book
Personal Project: The Selfie
Component 2
What is a concertina book:
Concertina book is an origami-looking pop-up book. It has a cover at either end and six folded pieces of paper in between.
How to make it:
White cardstock
Scissors
Glue
2 pieces of cardboard measuring 8 x 11.5 inches each
(cereal boxes work great)
Scrapbook paper, construction paper, or your own artwork
Step 1:
Cut a piece of white cardstock in half lengthwise to make two long, skinny rectangles.
Step 2:
Fold the cardstock in half widthwise.
Step 3:
Fold the top flap in half again, aligning the bottom edge to the top crease.
Step 4:
Flip the cardstock over and do the same to the other side. Your cardstock should resemble a W when finished.
Step 5:
Make another set so you have 4 W’s total.
Step 6
:
Glue your W’s together to make an accordion. You may want to press the accordion under something heavy (like another book) for a few minutes.
Examples:
My Concertina Book!
What I used:
colored paper (blue, dark blue, light blue and black);
scissors;
pencil;
ruler;
glue;
printed images (edges);
buttons and ribbon.
How I did it:
I cut all the photos.
I cut the colored papers in retangles (except the blue and the black papers), it will be the frames of the pictures.
I glued the photos on the frames.
I folded the blue paper in a way which I could glue the pictures in both sides of the paper.
To do the cover of the book, I used a cardbord. I wrapped it with the black paper and decorated it with the buttons and the ribbon.
Then, I glued the concertina book into the cover (just the front).
