Happy Wednesday!! Welcome to this weeks Make-and-Take craft!! This week we are already inspired by next month’s holiday- so let’s make a Lovely Mini Accordion Book!!!
Watch the demo here:
Now of course you can decorate this booklet in any fashion you’d like! If you’re not inspired by Valentines, you can create any theme you Love!!
Let’s start by making our Book Base! We’ll score a 3” strip evenly every 2.5” to create panels and leave a small half inch tab!
This tab is very important! We will attach our ribbon underneath to keep it secure!
Fold your booklet on the score lines back and forth so it creates an ‘Accordion’ Fold.
Now that the base of our accordion book has been created- it’s time to decorate!!
You can assemble any pieces to create something amazing!!
Get inspired by our die-cuts of a key, a lock, and hearts!! Cutting these out of Mirri-Card makes such an amazing effect!
Try experimenting with torn paper edges and punch-out shapes!!
Fussy cutting a little character out always adds something to enjoy!!
Continue to build and play with your papers to create a full booklet!!
You can make each page as simple or detailed as you’d like!!
Leave room for notes and sentiments or fill it up with magical pieces to open!!
Take some inspiration from these finished booklets!
Thank you so much for creating art today!!
We have this station available All week!! With every bit of paper you’d need and brains ready to help you brainstorm!!
See you soon!
