Nina Tara on Instagram: "Journal folding - I’ve had a number of messages asking how to fold and cut the journal into the concertina/accordion fold. - Follow these instructions. Remember the paper can be any size you like. There is no right and there is no wrong. - Whatever paper you have chosen is just right. I made the brown packaging journal with these same folds and cuts. - So, don’t overthink it, just do it and most of all ALWAYS stay curious and courageous ✨"

I bought a bunch of old books with pretty covers and I'm re-purposing them by making new books out of old ones. Polly was the name of my childhood dog and the 1890's camping scene is very attractive. Remove the pages with a razor blade and scissors, leaving the cover intact. I didn't like the look of the cardboard inside the spine so I covered the inside of the book with new end papers. Lay the book cover on a piece of scrapbook paper and trace around the cover with pencil. Cut the paper…

I made this 8-pocket accordion book for the "Accordion Books Challenge" by Ali Manning aka vintagepagedesigns. Ik vouwde dit accordeon boekje met 8 vakken voor de "Accordion Books Challenge" van Ali Manning aka vintagepagedesigns. I kept the accordion book simple, wanted the tags to be the eye catcher. Ik hield het boekje zelf simpel, ik wilde dat de labels het middelpunt werden. I decorated the front cover using stamps by Dina Wakley. De voorkant versierd me stempels van Dina Wakley. I…

Accordion book

I love to make these little Accordion Fold books with scraps of pretty paper. They are especially fun to make with kids, because they are a do-able project in a reasonable amount of time before the kids get bored. Kids also like the "secret" aspect to them. When you remove the spine, there is a "whole 'nuther" book in which to write secrets. You'll need scraps of pretty paper, and strips of paper to fold into an accordion for the pages of the book. I like to determine the book size by the…

Concertina spine books with sewn in pamphlet variations

Hello!! I always love when a big box of inspiration comes from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts. It's always so fun to dig thru and see what really sparks an idea. In my most recent box, there were these fabulous Mini Trading Coasters (coming soon) and I instantly thought they would make the perfect covers for a small book of some sort. I have been wanting to try my hand at an accordion book so decided to dive right in. I got so caught up in making this project I forgot to take a bunch of pictures but…
