This great little mini album is made you an ordinary office file folder and a free paper pack from a craft magazine.
I got my file folders from staples they come in a various colours however, I have chosen buff as they go well with most paper collections.
Also by using buff you can then add Kraft card stock to make extra tags and photo mats.
It is the perfect size to hold your 6×4 photos and great as a gift or just to hold photos from a day out or an event.
Craft along with me using this video tutorial and you to can make your own File Folder Mini Album.
I really like this! Which magazines have the paper packs? I live in the United States of America so don’t know if we have anything like the paper packs in magazines. I may be out of the loop….
Love your video tutorials; have learned a lot from them; thank you so much for sharing your know how!
Hi Gail, the free paper packs come from a magazine called “Scrapbook Magazine” and I think this is on sale in the States but only by subscription.
You can use any scrapbook papers (a great way to use up scraps) or even print your own papers from crafting CD Roms.
You don’t have to even used A4 sized papers, you can use 6×6, 8×8 or 12×12 papers. I only used the free ones in this demo as it was a great way to make something so nice for very little cost.
I do hope I have helped and you can get some papers and give this project a go.
Hello Dawn…just finished watching the tutorial for the File Folder Mini Album Style 1and absolutely love it. I have already written down your instructions and am going to attempt to make several of these for my daughter to take to university when she returns for her degree in the fall. She is always looking for quick, inexpensive gifts for friends and this will work perfectly for her. Thank you so much for your step by step instructions, showing in detail each phase of the project. I appreciate your laid back and encouraging approach – it makes crafting fun and successful. I wish I didn’t live so far away…it would be a bit of a commute to take a class from Saskatchewan, Canada! Please keep posting these amazing mini book tutorials…what a great way to keep in touch with my daughter at University by sending creative ways to display her pictures (and ones I send too). You totally rock by the way (and that’s a good thing).
