Style 5 File Folder Mini Album Tutorial

Here is Style 5 in my File Folder Mini Series. With my step by step video tutorial you can craft along with me to make this beautiful mini album.
DSC_0057

Again all I have used is an office foolscap file folder, a couple of photo mats cut from some kraft card stock and  patterned papers that came FREE with Scrapbook Magazine Issue 78, so with the use of a very few materials you to can make a quick and easy mini album to house lots of photos and memorabilia.

With you file folder in the folded position cut this down to measure 13″.

On the long side score this at 3 1/2″ then 9 1/2″ next butt the 9 1/2″ score line to the edge and score again at 6″.

On the short side score at 4 1/4″ and 4 3/8″ then at 8 5/8″ and 8 6/8″.

Watch the video tutorial and craft along with me to make this File Folder Mini Album.

For magnets I used a company based here in the UK “First4magnets” and got size 10mm diameter x 1mm thick.

So go on, dust off your file folders and make a mini scrapbook album!

    Love this little brag book. I am already seeing ways to use it other wize… Thank you so much for clean and concise yet not drawn out instructions. I am laid up right now and can not get to my craft room, but the ideas are a-foot., in my brain. Thank you so much.

    I really enjoy your videos, and you have inspired me to have a go myself. You explain everything so clearly and I love your accent, although I cant pin point where you come from? Please keep adding more to your unusual mini album collection.

    I think I will try the Christmas mini album first.

    Thank you x

      Hi Laurie
      So glad to hear you like this mini album. All the File Folder minis have been very popular as you can make them with very few materials. On my website are details for all of them along with links to the magnets and file folders I have used http://www.staples.co.uk/foolscap-square-cut-folders/cbs/225680.html hope this helps and you to can join in with this File Folder Mini Series. Dawn x
