The carousel book form was popularized in the 1920s and 1930s as children’s books. In this online course, we will construct a carousel by creating a series of “scenes” that operate like the pages of a book. First, we’ll measure and fold three accordions; then we’ll cut and collage/rubber stamps/ decorate the frames and inner pages. Finally, we’ll sew the three accordions together to complete the book. Once finished this book looks like five theater scenes from the side; from the top it looks like a star.

You will need a glue stick, bone folder, awl, needle, X-acto knife, ruler (yard ruler is useful for this structure), cutting mat, scissors, and pencil (if you do not already have these the instructor will have them available for you to borrow). Any collage materials, rubber stamps and stamp pads, drawing pens, or pencils you may have.
