ENVELOPE ALBUM

1. Cover two pieces of cardboard (heavy cardstock or book board will work as well) with decorative paper. These will serve as the front and back book covers.

2. Die-cut or use a template to create five envelopes out of cardstock the same size as the book board.

3. Place the envelopes between the two pieces of covered book board. Make sure they're each facing the proper direction (depending on how you want the envelope pockets to open).

4. Bind the covers and envelopes together to form a book. You can stitch the pages together or punch holes in the envelopes andattach them with key rings. And method of book-binding will work (consider taking a book-binding class if you're interested in learning more).

5. Attach a closure (ribbon, buckles, clasps) to hold the book book shut.

This can be a perfect gift for a friend who loves collecting photographs. They can tuck photos or notes inside eah page.
