Description

The pleated scroll is a book form that, when opened, stretches out to a long wall hanging.  The covers are chyogami-paper-covered boards and the “book” is bound with waxed linen thread and bead embellishments.  The pleated inside is made with specialty paper blinds and can be black or white.

Supplies

  • Cutting mat
  • Awl (best: Japanese screw punch or leather punching tool, if you have one)
  • Binding needle with big eye
  • Small crochet hook (#12)
  • Pre-folded paper blinds from Lowe’s (white or black); cut a section about 6” long and 8 folds. (Width & number of folds can vary, depending on desired size)
  • 2 Cover boards, 1-1/2” x 6-1/4” (¼” larger than the folded paper size)
  • 2 Pieces Chyogami or decorative paper to cover boards, 2-1/2” x 7”
  • Black or white 1mm waxed thread, 60” – 72” (5’ – 6’) in length (for 8 folds)
  • Double-stick tape
  • 2 crimp beads for each scroll book
  • Beads for finishing top loop and thread tails

Pastel Dusting Technique – 3-hour workshop

  • Soft pastel sticks (NOT oil pastels or pan pastels); Sally recommends Faber Castell 24 or 48 half-sticks
  • X-acto knife (#11 blade)
  • Metal ruler and small cutting board
  • Kneaded eraser
  • Cotton balls and Q-tips
  • Large paper plate or small 6-well watercolor palette
