Victorian/Edwardian Pleating papers

[craftaholic]

Hi All
I ordered the pack of Victorian/Edwardian pleating papers from the website when there was a free P & P day a few weeks ago.
I just caught the end of a programme where they had been using them - and as it is a new technique to me - I just had to have them - like you do!
Trouble is, there was no instructions included - and I haven't got a clue how to use them.
Any help or ideas please?

Have googled for paper pleating and sorry to say i can't find it anywhere

If this is the Red Hot Bed kit, I think you just kinda fold them backwards & forwards along the pre-scored lines to form a sort of box pleat & then use it as you wish...

Thanks for trying.
I may have to wait until the repeat show to see how they used them, by which time I will have put them away safely, and won't be able to find them!

I saw something similar and as has been said, they are folded like you would for a fan, then just the two end bits fastened down/glued down and then a frame put over. I sent for a set and when folded, looking at one way you see a picture, then another and there's a different one. At least I hope this is what you have and not something I have never heard of.

That sounds more like a Flippix kit Eileen, Craftaholic has bought something that look more like backing sheets that are folded into a a box pleat...

Anna Griffin has been using this technique for years. Think this may help:
