Accordion Book Mini Haunted House

You'll Need

  • Black card, 6 pieces each 10 cm x 15 cm per child
  • White, orange and purple markers or paint pens
  • a glue stick
  • Washi tape or masking tape in any colour (optional, for spines)

Step by Step

  • Lay all six card pieces in a row. Decorate each panel with a different Halloween scene using the white, orange and purple markers: graveyard with headstones, full moon with bats, witch silhouette, pumpkin patch, ghost, haunted house front. Light-coloured markers show up well on black card. Let the ink dry for two minutes before touching.
  • Turn the panels over. Glue the right edge of panel 1 to the left edge of panel 2, overlapping by 1 cm. Continue joining all six panels in a strip.
  • Fold the joined strip into an accordion by folding alternate joins forward and backward. When done, the strip should stand on its own and open out flat to display all six scenes.
  • Decorate the front cover panel with a title and border in white or gold marker.
