Accordion Brag Book

Cut the card stock in half, making two 8 ½ inches wide and 5 ½ inches long pieces. Measure in ½ inch from one of the 5 ½-inch-long edges, and draw a faint pencil line there. Place a thin layer of glue between the edge and the pencil line, then glue the two pieces together, creating one long sheet that’s 16 ½ inches wide and 5 ½ inches long.

Fold the sheet of paper in half, creating two halves that are each 8 ¼ inches wide. At each edge, fold the paper back toward the center to create an accordion fold. 

Make a small hole in the front panel, and thread a long strand of ribbon through it. (You’ll use the ribbon later to tie the book shut.)

Attach the photos with photo-safe glue, making sure they all face in the same direction. You can decorate each panel with scrapbooking embellishments, like patterned papers and stickers that match the theme of the photo and the book.

Wrap the ribbon around the book, and tie it in a pretty bow.
