How to Make a Mini Album Using a Manila File Folder by Kristin Greenwood

My Creative Scrapbook design team member Kristin Greenwood is up today with a tutorial featuring our November Album Kit!

Here's Kristin:

Here is a tutorial on how I made my second mini album using a letter size manila folder!

You will need a file folder with the tab at the top.
Open the file folder so that the tab is in the top right corner.

**Open the file folder so that the tab is in the upper right corner.**

Fold the bottom of the folder up about 4 inches.

When you fold the bottom up, the left side of the folder must match up with the cut out tab.

Fold the left side of the folder to the center line.  The tab will hang over.

Fold the right side over to the left side until the "binding" matches up.



This is what it should look like from the top.
Cover with pattern paper.
Adhere each side to create the pocket. (The part you folded up on each side)
Adhere chipboard to front and back to finish mini album.
