2:11
for any project that you want to make so
2:14
this is one side of the
2:18
papers
2:20
and this is one side and this this is
2:23
the other side and I'm just going to
2:26
show you a little mini album that you
2:28
can make with these Pages including some
2:33
interactive elements to add and how to
2:36
use all the papers to cover the mini
2:39
album so go ahead grab the link and get
2:42
your free printable
2:48
papers like always you have link to the
2:51
measurements in the description under
2:53
the video and this mini album is really
2:56
easy to make just by folding a few
2:59
papers
3:00
so we're going to start with our large
3:03
pieces and we're going to score them at
3:06
6 and 38 and 6 and
3:10
5/8 and we're going to do that with all
3:13
four pieces so we're basically creating
3:16
a little
3:20
spine again we're going to score them at
3:22
6 and 38 and 6 and 5/8 and that will
3:25
give us a little
3:27
spine this is the spine don't worry it's
3:31
uneven on purpose now we're going to
3:33
start binding or connecting so you see
3:36
that there are two small
3:39
flaps that we're going to glue together
3:43
to make one side of the mini album so
3:47
just apply
3:49
glue to the bottom of the small
3:54
flap and then attach the other small
3:58
flap to it
4:00
and then make sure that they're
4:03
straight like this and
4:07
that they're aligned with the spines so
4:10
this is one side of the mini album
4:13
opened like this and now we're going to
4:16
repeat the exact same thing on the other
4:18
side to make the other side of the mini
4:20
album it has two sides so I'm applying
4:23
the glue to the small
4:26
flap both of them and then I'm going to
4:29
to attach them together so this is part
4:33
number
4:34
one for this mini
4:38
album okay so now we have both sides of
4:40
the mini album and we need
4:43
to
4:45
make the binding and attach them both
4:50
together so this is one side and this is
4:53
the other side next we're going to take
4:55
two pieces they are marked pieces B in
4:59
the instructions and The Cutting guide
5:01
you're going to see and we're going to
5:03
attach the two sides of the mini album
5:06
to those two pieces so apply glue to the
5:09
bottom of the center of the piece that
5:14
we made the mini album the one side and
5:17
then attach it to piece B we're going to
5:21
score piece B at 6 and 38 and then
5:25
attach the one side of the mini album to
5:28
its left
5:30
side like
5:31
this and then we're going to repeat that
5:35
with the other side and the other piece
5:37
B that we're again we're going to score
5:39
at 6 and
5:41
38 apply glue to the bottom of the other
5:46
mini album side this is the bottom the
5:51
center and then we're going to attach it
5:56
again to piece B
6:00
aligning it with all the
6:03
edges to the larger
6:06
flap like
6:08
this so now we have the two sides of the
6:11
mini album attached to two pieces
6:16
B so this is what we now
6:20
have so you see that when we attach both
6:23
of we put both of the mini album sides
6:28
together we have
6:30
some thickness it's about an inch so
6:33
what I want to make is another spine to
6:37
compensate for that thickness of the
6:39
mini album pages so I'm going to measure
6:43
about an inch from the center of piece
6:51
B and you measure because sometimes you
6:54
use different thickness of card stock so
6:56
it might change it might be a little bit
6:58
less than 1 in or maybe a little bit
7:00
more so it's better to just measure to
7:04
be accurate and then we're going to cut
7:09
the page cut the
7:11
paper and have a really small
7:14
flap and then we're going to do the
7:16
exact same thing on the other side
7:18
measure the thickness of the
7:22
combined sides of a mini album and then
7:26
cut
7:32
so basically this is binding without
7:34
chipboard so it's really easy to make no
7:37
wrapping
7:38
involved now we're going to attach these
7:40
two little flaps together to bind the
7:44
two sides of the mini
7:46
album so basically what we're doing is
7:49
attaching them one on top of the
7:56
other like this and then you see that
8:01
the larger spine is exactly
8:06
accurate
8:09
and now the mini album is basically
8:12
ready and we can go ahead and start
8:15
covering it with cover papers that again
8:18
you have all the measurements in The
8:19
Cutting guide in the description under
8:21
the video it's free you can go ahead and
8:23
grab
8:24
that so now to add a little bit of
8:27
interest to the pages I have here
8:30
flap so this is piece D that we're going
8:35
to fold in
8:37
half and attach to one of the pages of
8:40
the mini album as an opening flap like
8:45
this and you can follow and make all the
8:49
interactive pieces but you don't really
8:51
have to if you don't want to this is
8:55
piece
8:57
e that we're going to to fold in half as
9:00
well and attach
9:04
to one of the
9:06
pages so we're going to have a large
9:09
flap a small
9:12
flap and then some of the pages are just
9:15
going to be covered without any flaps at
9:23
all now I'm going to add another little
9:27
flap I'm going to attach attach it to
9:29
the cover
9:31
paper so it will be
9:34
hidden and then I'm going to cover the
9:39
paper and then cover the
9:44
flap so basically at this point it's
9:47
optional if you want to add all those
9:49
little flaps to the mini album or you
9:51
just want to cover the papers and add
9:54
photos so it's a really easy mini album
9:57
to make cuz it has no specific binding
10:01
no mechanism to add pages to The
10:05
Binding and it's really easy to
10:10
add so this is another piece that we're
10:12
going to fold in half this is piece
10:16
F and we're going to create a vertical
10:22
flap and flaps are just a way to add
10:26
interest to the mini album and add more
10:28
space for photos
10:30
so basically it's up to you if you want
10:32
to add them or not so this is the
10:34
finished mini album like I said we have
10:36
two
10:38
sides this is the front cover and then
10:41
when you open it to the
10:44
left then you have the right side and
10:46
the left side so this is the left
10:50
side with the large flap that we
10:55
added and the small flap here
11:00
and then on the right side we have that
11:03
hidden
11:07
flap a little frame
11:10
there
11:11
[Music]
11:13
and if you want to add a
11:16
pocket and the vertical flap I really
