Since I did a smaller one you can see (HERE) I thought I'd make one as big as I could with the paper on hand...

I used Columbia Mills LBS End paper plain and a geli print spliced together.

I knew I wanted writing on this one so wrote out 4 styles of alphabets inked with Juice Up pen and colored with gel pens, Koi w/c brushes & Mattehop pens. Added matte board covers, covered with a geli print and tied a Sari ribbon.

Added the title inked with a Posca gold pen, outlined with a green gel pen, cut out and adhered to cover. PS there's one on the back cover as well... Of course I put that one on first. Ha Ha

Instructions:

Cut paper any length, divide length in 4 which is your height.

Fold lengthwise in half, each end in half, bring folded edges to the half point, then fold in the 2 ends.

There are 8 equal folds making 4 square areas. On right side of one piece fold the corner up to the 2nd fold. Repeat with the other corner (you should have 2 V and 1M fold in the 1st square area). Repeat with other 3 squares. NOTE: this one can have readable text quote.

One the 2nd sheet, working on the wrong side, fold the point of the 1st fold to the point of the 3rd fold. Repeat with the other point of the 1st fold. Again you should end up with 2M folds and 1 V fold. Repeat twice more leaving the ends alone.

Adhere the triangles at each end to the right side of the 2nd sheet edge to edge). Put a dab of glue on 2 of the inner triangles to hold everything in place.

Cover your covers and adhere to he accordion ends. Add a ribbon closure.
