DIY Magnetic Album Tutorial

Hello everyone! Cassandra here today to share a short tutorial on how to make a DIY magnetic album using the June Kit filled with Crate Paper products!

These are the materials you need:  photo IMG_4357_zpsf5rhsw6x.jpg
I found the magnetic tape at my local craft store in Singapore but any similar magnetic products will work fine too! photo IMG_4359_zpsdn2ad7ma.jpg
Cut out the cardboard using the measurements as shown above.  Then fold it inwards and glue it down. You may cut the patterned papers at each fold till the start of the cardboard to facilitate folding and glueing it down.  photo IMG_4360_zpsmlx4dfqx.jpg
Then use another patterned paper and glue it down. Add the magnetic strip at the last 1" and glue it down to the other patterned paper. photo IMG_4361_zps4sjha2tq.jpg
Make the accordion by folding it at 0.5" marking and cut out patterned papers of 4.5"x5" and slot them into the accordion and glue them down. This will form the inner part of the album. photo IMG_4362_zps3vftjulf.jpg
Then glue it down on the album and embellishment it with lotsa yummy goodies from Crate's Journey collection!:D The magnetic strip will hold your album tightly together! Oops if you have already noticed, the sides of the album are slightly torn as I pulled the patterned paper too hard and tight when bending the album. Alternatively, to prevent something like this from happening, reduce the 1" cardboard slightly to about 0.8". That would give it some flexibility from long term handling of the album! Hope it helps! photo IMG_4368_zpscuyasmcm.jpg

Thanks for dropping by! Hope you like this project as much as I have enjoyed making it! Till my next update, take care and God Bless!:D

These are the supplies you need to create this 4x3" mini album!

1. Gather the 3x4" cardstock and because the 4x6" PL card will be too small to cover the whole album, use another 4x6" and punch a border through it to make it look like it's part of a design!

2. Then I used a plain cardstock measuring 4x12" and scored them at 0.5" with my Scorepal! 

3. Form an accordian with your cards and slot the cards in and glue them with tape glue or beacons!

4. Then it's time for assembling!

5. Connect the two pieces of 4x6" card together and add a Velcro tape to secure it properly!

Tada!! Here's the final product! I reinforced the album using twines and added Velcro tape to secure them together! So there's no more excuses! Just 10 minutes to create a simple album as a gift for loved ones! And it fits Polaroid perfectly!!:D
