I am going to show you how to make a Star Mini Album. These mini albums are the best...I make one every year to showcase my daughter's Christmas pictures:-) They are also great for a quick and easy stocking stuffer for a family member! Ok here is what you do: Step 1: Cut seven 4 x 12 pieces of cardstock (mine is red) Step 2: From these strips, cut at 5.5 inches. You will now have seven pieces of 5.5 and seven pieces of 6.5 inch pieces. Step 3: Cut four 4x12 strips of cardstock (mine is white). Then cut these in half at 6 inches. Step 4: You will now have all of your pieces to make this album. Step 5: Fold all of the pieces in half. Step 6: Put adhesive on the biggest piece and the medium piece on the outside edge only. Step 7: Adhere them together - edges only - with the smallest piece on the inside. Step 8: Continue to do this with all of your pieces. Step 9: Time for finishing touches! Adhere some patterned paper over a piece of chipboard (I used a cut up cereal box). Adhere a piece of ribbon to the front and back of your book and then place your covers over top. Step 10: Your star book is complete! Add embellishments as desired! I hope you make one and upload it to the gallery:-) Attachments:
