Instructions:
Start with a strip
of 47"x11"
sumi paper for the large book.
2 1/2" x 11" for teeny tiny book
3 3/4" x 18" for little book
Follow the diagram below.
First
fold the strip in half right down the middle. Unfold and then
fold the two sections you just made up to the middle crease.
Make all 3 creases into mountain folds (crease up). Now fold
those sections in half again until you have 8 even sections.
You will have 7 creases in which to make into mountains again.
Fold the eight sections in half again, starting with one end
and fold all the way through the accordion. Now you will have
16 even sections. With this technique you will have an even accordion
no matter how long the paper is!
For the small necklace book as seen on the Carol
Duvall Show,
you need to start with a strip of sumi paper 2
1/2"
x 11". The cover will be the same
width to start and half the length.
