Today I made the first set of bellows...!
- Made from 300gsm card stock.
- Scored every 10mm.
- Cut to size, in order to make a reducing bellows from 200mm to 125mm.
- Taped on the inside and outside along the seams.
- Laboriously folded alternately to the inside, outside, inside, outside until the finish.
Fully extended it should easily stretch to 200mm plus, and of course almost folds flat on itself.
Learning points
- Score at a wider interval to make folding a little easier.
- Make out of cloth with card stiffeners. Lots of cutting of the card, but zero folding required.
