Accordion Name Books

by Grandma Lizzie

In case you can’t tell, I’ve gotten into bookmaking. Since I attended an easy bookmaking workshop I’ve done a lot with my grandkids. This time they made a simple accordion book with their name.

Ethan wanted his book to be a people paper chain so he could write the names of friends.

All you need to do is fold paper accordion style and glue a piece of cardboard (I used a cereal box) on the front and back for the cover. Be sure to make the cover slightly larger than the paper.

So cute. One more great idea for my grandma files.

so much to do, so little time. Do you ever feel that way?

You’re right about so much to do! But I will definitely make time for this activity. It rocks!
