Making Accordion ~ Concertina ~ ZigZag Booklets

An easy project that also provides useful bookcraft exercises

This page describes how to make a small landscape style booklet from a single sheet of A4 paper. There is no sewing. Some straightforward scissor work is required. Larger booklets can be made in a similar way ~ starting from larger sheets of paper. Similar projects are listed near the foot of the page.


There are several other concertina projects with slightly different ways of doing things ~ and slightly different results. The first two listed use just one sheet of A4 paper ~ but are scaleable to any size.
