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!!!

Pockets!

I love making mini albums with pockets that can be used for just about anything. Journaling, photos, memorabilia etc. Here are 2 examples of mini albums I made for my purse that have pockets.

The first one is my business card holder. I made the pockets large enough to hold the standard size business cards and used the 3x4 Zutter Cover-All so that they stay protected in my purse.


The second one is a little first aid kit that has band aids, wipes, tweezers etc. for all those little emergencies. Again I used the 3x4 Zutter Cover-All to hold them but for this one I added some Maya Road envelopes to hold more stuff.



To make the pockets for this size project I cut my paper to 6" x 6" then scored it at 3" on one side then turn a quarter turn and score it at 2". The 3" score is to fold the paper in half then the 2" score folds up to make the pockets. Bind (with your Bind-it-All!)along the open edge and voila you have 2 little pockets.

You could also make a mini sewing kit if you are inclined.  Really, the uses for these simple little pockets are endless!  Start with a 3X4 Zutter Cover-All and you can't go wrong!
