POCKET PAGE BOOK
Instructions for making this little book. No fancy pics this time, just basic diagrams.
Obviously, you will decorate as you go but it's up to you how you do this.
Take a piece of A4 card and leaving the length, cut a strip 4 inches wide. Measure in 4 inches from one end and 2 1/8 inches from the other end and score down these lines.
Fold over so the longer side overlaps the shorter.
Cut 4 pieces of paper (more if you like) 7 inches by 5 1/8 inches. Score 1 6/8 from one side and 2 1/8 inches from the other side. Cut a semi circle from the centre piece. Also, cut 2 pieces of CARD 4 inches by 1/2 inch.
Fold these papers over so the longer side overlaps the shorter side and stick down. These are your pockets.
Now, take the bottoms of the pockets (tuther end to semi circle cut out) and making sure they're centred to the book, attach them (glue or DST) in between the two long bits of card.
Now attach the stiffening spine into the book along the crease of the larger front.
Attach a fastener of some sort to the book.
I made this one by separating the edges, using some card as a stiffer cover and fastening each side with a bind-it-all, but the basic instructions are just the same.
And...there you have it. Enjoy.
