Just a week ago I made some bellows for a 4x5 camera
but being a student I can't afford much. So I found
one of the cheapest ways of making them is to cut a
peice card board (or plastic film) into strips, like
most people say where you don't want the bellows to
fold. 

I found that you can get normal contact (self-adhesive
book or decorative covering) for about $2.00 for 2
meters. Then you stick the strip on it, in the
arangment you want. after if you want you can stick
either some thin paper or fabric inside of it to make
it more stronger or light proof.

And if you also want different colors, you can also
stick different colours over the top. Besides by using
these metirals the bellows will look like the bellows
on newer cameras, if thats what you want. And also the
bellows are fairly rain resistant compaired to some.
Good luck making them if your gonna.
