EASY DIRECTIONS FOR THIS ARTS AND CRAFTS ACTIVITY
You can have a wonderful time making up this picture folder, either with a friend or by yourself.
Step 1
Paste 6 or 8 sheets of paper together, end to end, the long way. The picture above shows you how to do this. This will make a very long strip of paper.
Step 2
Fold this, accordion fashion, leaving about 4 inches between each fold, so that you will have 12 to 16 spaces. To fold accordion style, you fold forward then backwards, forwards, then backwards…see the picture above.
Step 3
Now choose whether you want to make this with family or friend photos to give to a loved one or friend as a gift or whether you want to make this a fun, fictional, made up comic book or story.

Directions for Making a Fictional – Fun Story Picture Folder or Fold Out Comic Book
A picture folder is going to be made. The first thing you must do is choose a subject. Let’s suppose that the idea you’re going to work on is “My Life as a Movie Star.” Cut out appropriate pictures for your subject from old magazines. Then paste these pictures on the accordion folder, one picture on a square. You print a title on the folder for each picture. This will be loads of fun because you will be creating a story.
For example, if you decide on “My Life as a Movie Star,” the first picture might be that of a crying baby. It could be entitled “How I looked when I first went into the movies.” The next picture could be that of an older baby in a carriage, which you might call “When I won first prize in the Atlantic City Baby Parade.” In this way, you follow the subject through the years with a picture pasted on each space of your Accordion Folder. Of course, you can use both sides of your folder, as shown in the picture.
Some good subjects are: “My Experiences as a Flyer;” “My Wedding;” “My Summer Vacation;” “When I Was an Explorer.”
It’s great fun to make up a humorous folder. Cut out comic pictures and give them humorous titles. For instance, you might entitle a picture “My Student Days at State College,” the picture being that of someone sleeping deeply, apparently snoring loudly. If you made up a whole folder of this type, you could display it at a party. Your friends will have great fun reading it. They, very likely, will start making up folders themselves as soon as possible, and you’ll be starting a very enjoyable fad.
