Halloween Envelope Album

Record your Halloween memories in a handmade scrapbook album!

Supplies

  • Continuous Glue Lines
  • 10 x 10 sheets of paper
  • Scoring tool
  • Embellishments for decorating your album

 

Instructions

  1. For an 5 x 7 envelope, cut your paper to 10 x 10. Place your paper so its shaped like a diamond. Score at 3 1/4". Turn 90 degrees, score at 3 1/4". Turn 90 degrees, sore at 4 1/4"
  2. Cut the notches out where the score lines overlap.
  3. Now you're ready to fold and assemble your envelope. I like Glue Dots Glue Lines the best for this task. They're thing and come pre-cut in just the right size sections.
  4. I used 4 lines per envelope, 1 at the middle and one at the bottom of each side. Fold the bottom flap up over the side flaps. Leave the top open (just like a regular envelope.)
  5. Make as many of these envelopes as you want for your album. I made 7 envelopes for my album.
  6. To assemble you album place a few Glue Lines along the flap of the envelope where the adhesive would normally be on an envelope. I also placed one in the middle just about the flap fold line.
  7. Take another envelope, face up (if this is the first page fold the flap backwards, otherwise the flap will already be folded into another page).
  8. Insert the flap of the face down envelope into the pocket of the face up envelope. Move into place until both edges match up. Press down to seal adhesive in place. Repeat until all of your envelopes are gone.
  9. Now the fun really begins: you can decorate your album. By creating an album from envelopes, you'll have pockets on every other page so you can.
