Star Mini Album

This is a beautiful star mini album that is super easy to make. Just cut some paper, glue together, embellish and you are finished and have a beautiful project that anyone would love to receive as a gift. Below is the video tutorial and the measurements that I used. You can change these to fit you needs just remember to adjust the second and third pages 1/2" small than the first one.

YouTube video:  https://youtu.be/d1VoPgckgjo 

You will need 7 pcs of each of the items below

Cardstock cut at 8x5 1/2 score on long side at 4"

Second layer cut at 7 1/2x5 score at 3 3/4 on long side.

Third layer 7x4 1/2 score on long side at 3 1/2".

Fold all and burnish each of these.

Start gluing the 7 1/2x5" pcs to the 8x5 1/2 pcs. Glue only at the short ends as shown in the video and make sure to come all the way out to the end on both sides. Glue the third pc as you did the second. 

When you have all 7 of these pcs glued together then start gluing them together at the backs as shown in the video. 

For the covers you will need two pcs of chipboard cut at 4x5 1/2 add paper and embellishments on the front as desired. Then before gluing your front and back covers on put a pc of ribbon on as shown in the video so it is hidden under the cover. Glue the covers on front and back and embellish as you wish, just keep in mind to only embellish with flat objects so the book will open properly. 

Enjoy, E
