C+P Accordion Fold

Accordion Fold

For this Cut and Paste swap let's play the accordion. Because I'm not really musical, I'm going to just keep playing with paper. Create a collage with a June/July/August theme and incorporate an accordion fold into your piece.

If you can work out a way to send this piece naked, more power to you otherwise you're free to pop it in an envelope. There are no size limits so this could be an ATC with an accordion fold, a postcard, a journal page, whatever. Your accordion piece could be a little book telling a story or a work of art that unfolds to reveal a larger picture. Let your imagination run wild with this one.

Please don't send sticker slapped, rushed stuff. Take your time, be artistic and make a nice cutted and pasted (hee hee) piece.

To incorporate an accordion fold into a collage, you can have the main piece fold one like this: example

or you can have a "pop up" element on top of your accordion fold similar to this: example

Please feel free to share questions or ideas in the comments below.

Be sure to include the name of the swap and your name so your partner doesn't have to search high and low to rate you.
