Concertina demo
Concertina binding: demo showing how to fold the concertina pleat.
Tool and materials
* Sheet of cover stock
* Ruler
* Pencil
* Bone folder – is optional
* Visit these photo galleries for ideas.

Once you finish the steps in this demo, you will have a concertina fold section with 11 pleats like this one.
