We are in a world where everybody has a camera at hand almost 24 hours a day, but most of the photos we take are forgotten. One way to stop this happening is to print them or take them to get printed. And, in addition, if you make a folding album like the one we will show you today, you can keep it anywhere at home and you're sure to have all those good moments of life ready to see :D

MATERIALS

Two pieces of card measuring 10x12

Sheets of APLI scrapbooking paper

APLI large cards

APLI raffia

APLI scissors

APLI glue stick

APLI cutter

Ruler

Pencil

 

STEP 1

Cut the raffia and stick it to the middle of the cards.

STEP 2

Take the scrapbooking paper you prefer for the cover of the album and stick it to the side on which you stuck the raffia.

STEP 3

When it is stuck, make some cuts in the surplus corners and stick them to the card.

STEP 4

As the ends will project, the next step is to cut them off.

STEP 6

Now you can start with the inside of the album. Take the card and cut 10 cm strips. You can make one or two... or as many as you want according to the number of pages of your album. There will be 4 sheets per strip.

Take each of the strips and mark 12 centimetres with the help of a ruler to make the folds and fold them.
