Probably not accordian... I'm not sure how I'd make that.
You make it with two 'o's.

Basically, you'd take a strip of canvas and fold horizontal pleats in it. When you come to a corner, the pleats are staggered on the other side so the corner is a zig-zag.

Eyelets in the middle of each pleat with a bungie cord strung through would keep things organized.

Or you could do what this person did

Cut trapezoidal strips of luan plywood and tape the edges together, then you'd have a solid wood accordion.
