Dawn’s Easy Board Cover for Mini Albums

This is such a great way to make a board cover for your Mini Albums but without any cracking of card/papers.

I have used 300sgm for this cover and no hard chipboard on the spine either.

Its Super Quick and easy with no special tools and professional results every time.

In the next Video I show you 2 different Hinge ideas to add to the cover you have just made, with my Cantilever Hinge idea.
1- Stack the Deck with my cantilever back.
2-Individual Hinge with my cantilever back.
