Today I am going to show you step-by-step how to make an Accordian Book. Years ago we carried the blank versions of these books so that customers could decorate their own. When they stopped producing the books we learned how to make them from scratch using products we already carry in our store.

I used the Bo Bunny line Baby Bump

First, cut up a piece of mounting board into six pieces measuring 6 1/2" x 4 1/2"

Next I cut up coral-colored paper into five 2" x 6" pieces, scored each of them in the middle at the 1" mark, and taped them in-between the pieces of black board to connect them all together.

Be sure to tape them on alternating sides so as to achieve the "Accordian" fold.

Then I cut up the Bo Bunny paper into 2 different sizes.

Six sheets of 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" for the back layer...

...and six 4" x 6" pieces for the top layer.

Then I taped my front and back pieces together.

I taped my pages to the black sheets placing them in the order I'd like my book to flow.

When I did the back page I made sure to tape my ribbon tie behind the paper so that it could wrap around the front and hold my book together.

Ta Da!! Your Accordian Book is done! Fill with your favorite photos or give it as a gift :-)
