Turn a simple DVD tin into a mini scrapbook.
Supplies
- DVD Tin (purchased from Effectuality.com)
- One sheet of 12" x 12" Patterned Paper
- Ten Clear Envelopes
- Cutting/Scoring Tool
- Two Jumbo Eyelets
- Crop-a-Dile™
- 10" Length of ribbon
- Corner Rounder (large)
- Sticky Strip™
- Tombow Glue™
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Cut the patterned paper into two pieces, one measuring 5 1/4" x 7 1/4", the other measuring 5 1/4" x 8 1/2".
Keep the scraps for decorating later on. -
Step 2
Score the 5 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of patterned paper at 1 1/4" on the short side.
-
Step 3
Use the corner rounder to round every corner of both pieces of patterned paper.
Make sure the flap is folded over while rounding the corners of the scored paper piece. -
Step 4
Line clear envelopes up, making sure bottom edges are aligned.
Remove adhesive backing and adhere envelopes to one another, leaving the adhesive backing on the final envelope. -
Step 5
Center the envelope booklet under the flap of the 5 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of patterned paper. Remove the adhesive backing from the final envelope. Fold the flap down to adhere the envelope booklet to the patterned paper flap.
-
Step 6
Measure and mark 2 1/2" from each side of the flap.
-
Step 7
Use the 3/16" hole punch on a Crop-a-Dile™ to punch holes on the marked spots.
-
Step 8
Place jumbo eyelets into the punched holes and use the Crop-a-Dile™ to set them.
This will ensure the pages will stay in the book. -
Step 9
Thread ribbon through the eyelets and tie.
-
Step 10
Add Sticky Strip™ or other strong adhesive to the back side of the finished booklet
-
Step 11
Adhere it to the deepest part of the tin.
Use Sticky Strip™ or Tombow Glue™ to adhere more patterned paper pieces to the inside of the tin. -
Step 12
Finish your tin!
Decorate the front and fill your pages. Finished, the paper for the front should measure 5 3/16" X 7 1/4".
You can use this little booklet as a special photo album, or you can create 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" size scrapbook pages to fill the pages.
