A few years ago, I made an accordion album to hold photos for my dad. Now, here’s a more dressed-up version that I made as wedding cards from our work for two coworkers who are both getting married this summer.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• Two 7″x9″ sheets of scrapbook paper or wrapping paper for the covers
• Two pieces of 5″x7″ cardboard (cereal or other grocery boxes are great)
• Three+ sheets of cardstock for the pages
• Ribbon – 60″
• I also had a gift card that I added inside
• glue stick, scissors, craft knife

Here’s How To Do It:

Cut out two 5″x7″pieces of cardboard. Then cut two pieces of scrapbook paper to 7″x9″ and glue on to the cardboard to make your covers:

Cut two small slits in one of the covers and thread the ribbon

Next, cut the cardstock to 6.5″ in height. I folded 4.5″sections and used the extra to overlap the next piece.

Finally, glue the accordion pages into the cover!

Here is the finished product:

And the whole thing folds up into a cute package! It’s fun to look back on the first version and see how the same project can be adapted to different uses!

Cheers to the happy couples!
