Print accordion. Choose a paper pattern from the Creative Park website and print your pattern on both sides of your Canon double sided paper. Lay seven sheets out to measure 77¡± in length and tape together.
Trim accordion. Standing at 8.5¡±, this accordion could topple over easily. Trim the height to approximately
6.5¡± high to ensure a stable display. Save the paper you trim and cut (12) strips that measure ¨ö¡± x 4¡±. Set these aside, you¡¯ll be using them later.
Fold accordion. Fold your panels of paper in half (see figure 1). Fold the edges back (see figure 2). Continue to fold in accordion fashion until your paper looks like this (see figure 3).
Print images. Print six of your favorite photos, think of telling a story with the images. Choose images that are shot in succession or images that include a wide shot, a medium shot and a close-up shot of a person, place or thing. This will create visual interest when people view your photo decoration creation.
Prepare photos. Using glue dots or tacky glue attach ¨ö¡± x 4¡± strips to the back flaps of your photos.
Attach photos. Align the edges and adhere your photos to the accordion using glue dots. They should bow out when attached properly. See example:
Embellish in your own style with candles, flowers, holly or whatever makes you feel festive. Taa daa! You¡¯re finished. Now set the table and show off your fabulous tabletop photo creation.
