Paper Pleating
Hello everyone,
Robin here to share one of my favorite paper crafting techniques...paper pleating! This is a fast and easy technique which adds pure elegance to your projects.
To begin, cut two 2 x 12 strips of paper. Starting with the first strip, score your paper at the following intervals:
1/2",
1 1/2"
2"
3"
3 1/2"
4 1/2"
5"
6"
6 1/2"
7 1/2"
8"
9"
9 1/2"
10 1/2"
11"
Fold to create pleats as shown in the photo below. Once you have completed this process, repeat using your second 2 x 12 strip. You will then be able to connect the two so you have enought to create a 2 x 12 pleated strip.
I hope you give this technique a try. You will love the look it adds to your pages without adding bulk. This is perfect if you plan to design a page for a scrapbook.
Have fun and enjoy.
Robin
