Book your holiday!

If you want to show-off all your fantastic holiday photos and souvenirs, here’s how to do it!

What you’ll need

  • One sheet of paper at least 51cm long
  •  Scissors
  •  Two postcards
  •  Tape
  • Piece of ribbon 61cm long
  • Markers, stickers, colourful cutouts of shapes or from magazines, and photographs

How to do it…

1. Cut the paper so it's 51cm long and the same width as the postcards.


2. Fold the paper every 10cms, so it makes five folds. Each piece should be the same size and folded on top of the next.

3. Tape the middle of the ribbon to the back of one postcard. Make sure the ribbon is centred.

4. With pictures facing out, glue the postcards to the top and bottom of the folded stack of paper. One postcard will cover the taped part of the ribbon.

5. Use coloured markers to decorate both sides of the folded paper. You can write about your holiday and draw pictures. Don't forget to add your stickers, cutouts and photographs.
6. Put the book together like an accordion. Hold it together by tying the ribbon in a loose knot or bow at the top. Be sure to pass it around for everyone to have a look. Happy holidays!
