Part B- making your covers for the album
•Take the 2 pieces of the chipboard and cut them at 5 x 5 ½ inches
Cover it with the 6 x 6 pattern paper
Cut the sides in a angle to fold better
Adhere all around and firm it with a bone folder
Then cut 4 ½ x 4 ½ coordinating pattern paper or solid cardstock for the inside of the album covers
Part C- making of the binder for the album
Cut a 5 x 5 piece of sold cardstock
Score ½ all the way to the end. You will have 9 score lines when you are done
Fold the score lines in and out so they look like mountains and valleys
Part D- Putting it all together•Now take the binder and adhere one to one of the album covers
Adhere your first pocket on the top if the first “mountain of that binder and continue to do this till all the pockets put in the mini album
After this is done , use a bone folder to secure it better
Part E- finishing up the album
You are done with your book and you can start decoration it in any style or theme
Enjoy and have fun
