Basic 8x8 Mini Album Tutorial Part 1

  • Here’s step one of a simple 8x8 folio style album. The purpose of this was to only include mats and layers for 6x4 photos without the need to trim them down. This is an easy folio to make, decorate and to fill with photos.
    In this part, I will show you how I make the cover using construction tape. If you prefer a cardstock cover, then that’ll work too and there are plenty of fantastic tutorials online.
    This is an easy make that uses minimal paper too. Great for your more expensive papers as it will stretch then. Remember to share your makes on the Facebook group too.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for this tutorial!! I have been looking for something that I can put only 6 x 4 photos in to give to non-crafters. It is so confusing for people if they have to cut down their photos to put in a book. This will me so much easier. Great tutorial and instructions!! Thank you from Ontario Canada!!

    Hi Paul. I have just finished making my first of your albums. Your instructions were brilliant & I found it quite easy to follow. It is not the neatest but I am sure it will come with experience. The thing I did find tricky was the construction tape. It is very sticky, especially sticking to me. Would dusting my fingers with talk help with that - or do you have other tips. It did roll over on me as I was going around the covers which was very frustrating. Thank you.

    Love your videos. Im using masking tape many colors--but it won;t stay stuck do you use some type of glue to make it stick?

    • @paulford6686
      @paulford6686  3 роки тому

      Masking tape won’t work. This tape sticks on its own and has been sourced to be used for papercrafting.

    • @paulford6686
      @paulford6686  5 років тому +1

      Sue Lewis - Paynter from a local shop but it’s the My Creative Spirit tape. Have also tried the Stix2 one. It works and is much stronger but it doesn’t like to stick to itself (after wrapping it around) so you have to trim it where it meets.

      It is my preferred method. It is actually very quick once you’ve got into the swing. I also prefer it as it has no possibility of cracking like you get sometimes with cardstock.
