Accordion Photo Card

A cheerful, multifaceted display perfect for the holiday

By Meg Gleason

This a great craft for grandparents (or parents) and grandkids to do together to commemorate the holiday. Be sure to make enough room to feature all the grandkids!

Materials:

  • Two sheets 8 1/2-inch x 11-inch card stock, 1 dark pink, 1 magenta
  • 1 sheet of light pink construction paper
  • Drinking glass with 2 1/2-inch diameter for tracing circles
  • Family photographs
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • White craft glue

Instructions:

  1. Trim the sheets of card stock by 3 1/4 inches lengthwise so that each measures 11 inches x 5 1/4 inches.
  2. Trim 1/2 inch from the end of each piece so that each measures 10 1/2 inches x 5 1/4 inches.
  3. Lay the pieces out horizontally and mark each piece of card stock at 3 1/2-inch intervals so that you have two light pencil marks separating three equal sections of cardstock.
  4. Fold the card stock along the lines in the opposite directions so that the folded pieces are 3 1/2 inches x 5 1/4 inches and form a Z shape.
  5. Overlap the end pieces of the two different folded card stocks and glue them together so that you have 5 faces on each side.
  6. From the light pink construction paper, trace five circles, cut them out and glue them onto the faces of the card.
  7. Select an array of family photos and trim them to fit within the circles.
  8. Inside each light pink shape attach a snapshot with adhesive glue dots.
  9. Display your photos on the nearest table or mantle.
