During this class students will make a concertina fold, glue 3”x2” cardstock ‘flags’ into the folds, decorate the pages, make covers and finish the book by gluing the covers to the concertina.

The Flag Book structure was invented by Hedi Kyle. It is made out of an accordion fold, small cards glued into the folds, and a cover.

The Flag Book may be described as a portable, expandable file that can display an array of materials in an animated way. Operating with the assistance of the accordion fold, it has the freedom to expand and retract. It can be read page by page or pulled apart for the full effect of an uninterrupted scenario. Standing, the Flag Book also will turn into a circular of star book as the covers are held together at the back.
