Materials • Double sided card stock • you need an odd number of pages to make a complete album. • Paper should be cut into squares two times the size of the desired finished product. • Double Stick tape-permanent • Embellishments of your choosing
Organize • Determine which color you want for the outside. I chose to alternate the colors of the pages.
Step 1 • Fold paper, making sure that the outside color is on the outside. • Open up the paper, rotate and fold again.
Step 2 • Open up the paper, rotate and fold into a triangle. • Even number pages should have this fold reversed, for an outward crease.
Step 2 Continued • It should look like this when you open it up.
Step 3 • Fold the paper along the creases, tucking in the corners as pictured. • Repeat steps 1-3 for all pages
Put It All Together • Open the paper for page 1 and on one of the un-creased corners place double stick tape (along all edges).
Putting It All Together • Place the “top” corner of page 2 on top of page one section with double stick tape, ensuring that the outside of page 2 is adhered to the tape. Everything will be at an angle at this point. • Repeat for all pages
Embellish The Outside • I used grommets, ribbons and a rivet button for closure. • Use anything that you like from scrap booking materials, leftover ribbon, paint…etc. • Add your pictures
The Finished Product • Elastic Band (gold or silver) in bottom rivet, wraps around the back and hooks on the button at the top. Keeps the album closed while in your purse.
