No explanation
Such a good idea for graduation but how do you make a accordion style if you glue corner like a envelope first ?? Tired to see great idea projects with limited explanations. Cannot read minds

Not through enough instructions
How do you glue the “graduation hat” to the accordion book? Is the “hat” on top of an envelope? Not exactly clear on these instructions.

How about the visual learners?
This lost a star because of the presentation. The photos, which were good, needed to show the project from more angles. I *think* I see how they're glued together by the little bit of the back showing. Many people who do this sort of thing, me included, are visual learners and the instructions in words only are hard to follow.
