Step 2Make the accordions
Cut a piece of 8.5 x 11 inch graph paper longways into two strips, each just narrower than a business card is long. Note: the length of the card, determines the width of the 11 inch strips of graph paper. They can be a little narrower than the length of the business card---there will be a little extra room because of the way the wallet will be bound at the base.
Fan-fold pieces along graph lines, every two lines---this is the handy byproduct of using graph paper: built-in guides. This will give you a 0.5 inch deep fanfold (for 0.25 inch graph paper) or a 0.4 inch deep fanfold (for 0.2 inch graph paper). That's probably as shallow as you want to make the folds. Out of an 11 inch piece of graph paper, you get 10 "compartments" using 0.25 inch paper, and 13 "compartments" using 0.2 inch paper, with good retention of the cards.
