How to Make a Back to Back Accordion Book

• How to Make a Back to ...
This is a step by step tutorial on how to make a back to back accordion artist book with map folds. The video shows Camille, with the encouragement of the studio birds, making one of her artist books called ”Good People.” To see the PDF used in this video visit Riner's Etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/CamilleRine...
Here's the measurements if you want to use your own papers instead of my pattern. Two light weight paper strips for the accordions (I use 27lb) 15.25' x 3.75" (38.7 x 9.5cm) and two boards like the back of a sketchbook (I use .067 thickness) 4.25 x 2.25" (10.8 x 5cm) plus some paper to cover your boards 5 x 3.5" (12.7 x 9 cm). ENJOY!

That was fantastic. Working on a photo book of this style. Thanks very much.

Glad it was helpful. It is a versatile structure with lots of possibilities!

Thanks for sharing this! It is a new book structure for me. I just did a prototype with 3x12 strips of paper. Such a neat book!

I love the birds in the background. What kind of birds are they ?

[@CamilleRiner]

they are good studio companions Pam, green budgies.

[@fgirvan]

whats the. best type of paper/card to use for this if making your own version?

[@CamilleRiner]

Fiona, I would suggest a lightweight paper 27lb (105 gsm). Enjoy!

[@saraali-oe1zi]

[@evadenebrosky6589]

I don't see this on your store site. Is it called something else? Thanks a bunch

[@CamilleRiner]

Evadene, Thank you for the request! I just added the pattern. There are nine patterns in my store, this back to back accordion is called "How to Make the Artist Book "Good People."

[@CamilleRiner]

Thanks Evadene, it is listed in my shop as "How to Make the Artist Book "Good People." I have also listed a new pop-up accordion book pattern called "Boxes."

[@marianaserna5296]

Hi! Good video, can you tell me the measurements please?

[@CamilleRiner]

Sure, you just need two strips of light weight paper 15.25' x 3.75" (38.7 x 9.5cm) and two compressed pieces of board (I use .067 thickness) 4.25 x 2.25" (10.8 x 5cm). I use a couple of sheets of paper 5 x 3.5" (12.7 x 9 cm) to cover the boards. Thanks for watching my videos! If you don't like to measure you can get all of my patterns in my Etsy shop goo.gl/U9WPw1

Measurements are hidden down in the comments section, unfortunately.

[@CamilleRiner]

Thanks for the heads up TaraPhoenix, I moved them up into the description.

[@thefineletterco.7199]

Great tutorial, but I was beginning to go mad with the bird sounds by the end!

[@daffodilwild]

Me too!

[@ewuresiarcher6276]

Very informative video but the bird sounds in the background was really irritating. But thank you for this video.
