There are toys and games and decorations and a few little DIY books. The theme -if you can call it that- for last December’s Advent posts was ‘something from almost nothing’ in consideration of all the people in various degrees of Covid-19 lockdown. Please Note: If you are interested in projects that are more seasonal, check out star-themed posts from Advent 2017 and square-themed posts from Advent 2019. Here’s an example of an artist’s book that takes full advantage of variations in page size: Hong Kong and Macau by Kristyna Litten. (Tomorrow you will get to make a different version of the book shown in the image above.)įolding from printed guides also permits the easy folding of pages with different widths. This permits accurate folding with respect to the printed pages.
Since most of the accordions that I make are ones with printed content, it is simple enough to include printed marks to indicate where the folds should be. My last method for folding an accordion, and the one that I use most often: printed scoring guides. (Image from here.) I don’t own one, but perhaps I should?! You can achieve similarly reliable results using a scoring board. Every second fold must now be reversed to make your accordion, You can also use a template that is the width of a single page. (The final reverse fold hasn’t been made.) Using a template the width of a two-page spread and making the reverse folds as in step b from Ikegami’s instructions results in an accordion that looks like this. (The first page will be shorter than the rest of the pages by the thickness of the paper.) The template is then pushed firmly against the stop -as shown by the pointy finger- and the second score is made. I score the first line, then fold it and place the fold against the stop. I work against a stop, in this case the measuring guide on my board shear. I use a version of this method, making templates out of scraps of book board and using them as scoring guides. If you are folding many accordions it makes sense that you would have a quick method to reliably create pages all the same width. I learned the Japanese method from this book: This is not, however, the method used by Japanese binders. On Day One I showed you the Keith Smith instructions for an Oriental Fold Book.
