Fold of the Week: Winning Wrapped Accordion Surprises
Hey, this is my 650th episode, and I’m marking the occasion with something really exciting and creative. I’ve got four sculptured Wrapped Accordions that you’re going to LOVE.
Here’s what’s great about this milestone episode:
- All four samples are just straight-up inspiring.
- This is a great example of how you can surprise and delight an audience with metal die or laser cuts on flat folded brochures.
I hope you enjoy this special episode! Thanks for watching — I appreciate you.
