Summer accordion books

During the summer, we take a lot of photos and it happens that the best moments remain buried deep in the gallery of your phone. What if you tried something different this year? Choose just a few of the most important images that capture one whole trip - and make a **small but special photo book** out of them.

📍 One trip, one story

It doesn't have to be a trip around the world. On the contrary. A minimalist leporello works best when it captures one specific experience - a weekend at the cottage, a trip to the mountains, a vacation day by the water...

One that you'll want to come back to and re-live it.

What makes a leporello special?

There is power in simplicity. A leporello is not about quantity - it's about the story that unfolds as you flip through.

Each page has room to breathe. You can put multiple mini-photos on it, or just one larger photo, leave the page blank and write your memories.

What's more, you can fill some pages with a drawings, tickets, dry flowers… anything that will remind you of your trip.

Leporello as a gift

Leporelo doesn't have to be just for you. It's a lovely gift - for a partner, a friend, a parent.

At first glance, it's inconspicuous... but when you open it, everything unfolds again: the laughter, the views, the experiences. You can have such a beautiful reminder of the time you spent together.

🧡 How to do it with Squared.one?

Choose your images, choose your format, add them to your cart. Don't forget to add the accordion book too!

Don't forget the stickers, gel pen or photo corners to help you complete your cardboard book.

Your words, your style

Photos tell a story on their own, but short text can add emotion, connect moments and underline what's important. There's no need to write long paragraphs - just one sentence, an observation, or even a catchphrase that captured the moment perfectly.

Use your own handwriting, a favourite font or perhaps block letters. Add sketches, emojis, or anything that feels natural. This will make the cardboard even more personal - it won't just be a book of photos, it will be a piece of you.

📚 Collect little leporellos like a diary of summer

A leporello doesn't have to be a one-off fad. How about starting a collection? One for every summer trip, holiday outing or family day out. You can stack them side by side in a box, or put together your own shelf full of memories.

Then, a few years down the line, you'll open one of those little albums and go back - not to some generic summer, but to exactly where it all was.

In conclusion

You don't have to tell the whole summer at once. You can make a book every time you go on a trip when the experience is still fresh in your mind. Plus, there's more time to create in the summer. Just pick a few moments each time - when they're well chosen, they're worth everything.
