Good morning Zutter friends, 

Pinky here today to share how to make your very own tri-fold frame from scratch

using your incredibly versatile Zutter Bind-It-All and Owires!

 Step 1. Trim out 4.5X6" chipboard. 3 pieces. 

 Step 2. Cover each piece (front and back) using patterned paper.

 Step 3. Using Bind-It-All- punch center binding holes on one side of each frame page.

(Use Cover Page setting).

 Step 4. Take middle frame page and punch out other side.

 This is what your frame pages will look like. 

 Step 5. Embellish and decorate pages. (or add photos)

 Step 6. Using 1/2"Antique Brass Owires & Zutter Bind-It-All machine- 

bind frame according to manufacturer directions.

 Stand your frame up and enjoy! Perfect to commemorate any occasion

or that work desktop. Easy, and totally fun. 

Double Binding Tutorial

Hello everyone!!! We have a super easy

tutorial for all of you today but with 

fantastic results.

It is called double binding.

All you need is your project that

you intend to bind, two sizes of Owire,

and your Bind-It-All tool.

First we will want to take the

smaller size of Owire first and bind it.

Like so.

Now we will simply take

our larger size of Owire and

overlap then bind.

Again like so and we

are done!!!

Easy right!

Here is my complete project in details

Pretty Little Things.

NOTE: The range of how your project pages turning

is determined by the smaller size of Owire. 

For example, I used 1/2" Owire for Pretty Little Things

Project. It is very limited to turning which is what I wanted for

this particular project.

The project below I used 3/4" Pink Owire

which allows for page turning.

The smaller the inside Owire the smaller

range of turn.

The larger the inside Owire

the larger the range of turning

your pages becomes.

I do hope that we all enjoyed this

little quick technique and will use it.

It is quite cool for giving a little more

depth to projects.

Thanks so much for allowing me to share!

Animal Crackers Pocket Album Tutorial

How are we all doing today! I hope all

is well especially now that summer is

in full gear.

Today we will be putting together a pocket

album which is super easy and fun!

With a few simple supplies this

album turns out stunning.

Let's begin!!!

Select a few sheets of 12x12 paper which

will in turn be your pockets.

Evenly measure out 4 inches across which

will render 3 strips that will create pockets. It is totally up to you

how many pockets you want in

your album.

Take one of your strips and score/fold about

6 1/2 in mark horizontally.

Measure about 1/2" in on both sides

vertically also scoring/folding at marks.

It looks like so:

At the horizontal folds cut both corners

in an angle like so (see photo). This will make it

easier to fold the sides in clean and neat.

Apply glue to the insides of the 6 1/2 in. sides

and adhere down.

To the other sides, apply glue to the

outside of the sides, fold in half, and adhere

to the other end.

It will look like this!

Easy, right!?

Now gather the rest of the strips and 

repeat the same steps.

If you desire, a half hole can be cut out

of the shorter end of pocket to

create a notched look.

Make sure that it is cut out first

before adhering. 

After all the pockets are dry break out

your Bind-it-All and start punching away.

After assembly, you will have your

very own pocket album to

embellish to your heart's content.

The pockets also serve as extra places for

pictures, notes, etc.!!!

Here is what I did with mine:

                                        I love the end result. Now this album is ready for some
                                                                     great memories.


                                                   Hope that you enjoyed this post and please share your
                                                   pocket album. We would love to see it!!!
