Six Simple Steps

Accordion Medallions

Step One - Cut out shapes from some patterned paper - you will need a few circular shapes, the accordion strip and some "v" shaped pennants. I have used a Silhouette Cameo diecut for my shapes. But you can do it by hand and score the dotted lines.

 

Step Two - Fold up the accordion like a fan.

 

Step Three - Join the edges together. I use both a bit of double sided tape and a little bit of glue for extra strength.

 

Step Three - Gather the folds together and bring the centre together to form a circle shape.

 

Step Four - Turn the circle shape over and using some strong glue adhere a circle shape to the back - this will keep the folds in place. Tip - hold for a little bit to give the glue time to set.

 

Step Five -Turn back over to the front and decorate using circular shapes and label stickers.

 

 Step Six - Attach the banner shapes to the bottom of the medallion.

 

Using the six simple steps you can repeat the process and make many different versions.

 

I used this process to make some hand made embellishments for my Counterfeit Kit, which you can see in the post below.
