How to make paper accordian ornament?

[justme32]

Looking for directions on how to create this ornament. When closed it was held shut by a bead on the string (ribbon). Once you pull the bead up the accordion folded paper forms more of a circle. It was made by strips of paper folded then adhered together. Any help is appreciated

I'll take a look...I know I have one around here I can take a pic of somewhere in my room. It's a form of a squash book. With the squash you flip flop the folded cards and with this you just layer them going the same direction...works best with 5 sections. I just moved and I know I've seen it around here somewhere...

well I couldn't find one around here...so I made one with a few pics. The pics are bad...camera isn't charged...had to use the cell to take pics. This ornament was made with circles...but looks nice with squares.







I used a bell at the top instead of a bead...mostly because I was too lazy to look for a bead. I found that the hole was too big and the bell kept sliding up and opening the ornament.

found one in the gallery that was made using square cardstock: (not mine)

and here is a link to my tutorial on the squash book:
Stamp, Scrap, Skate: Squash Card Tutorial

It shows you how to score the cardstock for a square sheet of paper. with a squash book...you flip flop the sections...with the ornament you just lay them back to back. Hope this was helpful.
