TUTORIAL: MINI ALBUM WITH SPECIAL SPINE BINDING

Hello again!!, today we change the theme a bit... and we have prepared a tutorial for you to make a mini with a special binding.

And it is that we also need our moments of disconnection and leisure alone... scrap as therapy!!

And while we were starting to let our imagination run wild a little, we thought it was a good idea to document the process...

For the mini we are going to need the following materials:

- double-sided patterned papers, we chose the Pink Paislee 5th and Monaco collection, to cover the covers and make the inner sheets.

- glued cardboard for the covers

- basic paper to make the spine

- a small plastic box that we can reuse, with it we will make the back of the mini

- loop, if possible wide

- your usual cut-and-paste

We start!

STEP 1. The first thing will be to cut the covers to 10.5x12.5 cm and the decorated paper to cover them, leaving 2cm approx. on each side ...

We begin by folding and gluing the longest sides and taking care to tuck the corners in when we go to glue the small sides.

STEP 2.- Make the thorn with basic paper, cut a 9.5x16cm strip and mark each centimeter of it. We fold and fold all the folds well ...

We also cut the plastic box, in such a way that we have a kind of book structure with a spine and we cut it the same width as the spine, 9.5cm.

STEP 3.- We glue the spine made in the previous section to each end of the covers, as it appears in the image...

Once they are, the inside paper of the covers is glued, which are 12x10cm approx.

And to fix the corner folds well, we hold it with two clamps for a while.

STEP 4.- We take the plastic that we have previously cut and glue it to the structure that we have made in the previous step, in this way the corner of the mini will be more protected, and on top of the plastic we glue the loop...

Finally, we put a piece of decorated paper of approx. 10x12cm on top, both on the cover and on the back cover.

STEP 5. Cut what will be the inner leaves to 10x12cm as well and stick them with double-sided tape on one side of the spine, as seen in the photo...

You can make the leaves simple or with a simple drop-down, this type of structure does not allow much volume.

STEP 6.- and one of the most fun, it's time to decorate it!!

For this we have used the cards of the collection and paper cuts such as flowers or butterflies, stickers and enamel from other collections that combined perfectly and a set of volumes for the cover!

What do you think? We hope you liked it... we leave you photos with more details...

If you put it into practice we would love to know!
