Accordion Origami Document Folder Tutorial

Origami Accordion Document Folder Tutorial
Origami Accordion Document Folder Tutorial

Make a useful origami document folder for papers, photos, receipts and other items. This origami accordion case makes an awesome gift all year round. This is one way to make an origami expanding document folder, I posted a purely ‘origami’ kind of folder a couple years ago here, this one is an easier, sturdier and less paper wasting method.

I’ve always liked this kind of folder, I’m using mine for receipts. You can create little tabs for them or draw them on the inside. Use ribbon or a clip to close the folder or you could create a cover that goes over the top and fastens. The base is an origami accordion fold, you can use any size paper and any ratio. If you use square paper, your sections will be bigger, if you use longer paper, they will be thinner. You could attach 2 or more accordions together to make a big origami document folder.
