The Pendant Album basically has 3 parts: The accordion The front and back covers The leather strip to hang the album
Materials: 2 sheets of Keepsakes Papers (1 decorative, 1 solid-colored) 1 Leather Strip (1 1/2 meter) Bic Glue Stick Part 1: Accordion a) Cut solid-colored Keepesakes paper into 1/2 lengthwise to create 2 half-sheets. b) Place them horizontally on your cutting mat. Measure a 1/2-inch margin on the right edge. c) Cut off the left 1/2-inch margin of the first hallf-sheet. Fold the 1/2-inch margin on the second. d) Connect the 2 sheets by overlapping the 1/2-inch margin over the second half-sheet. e) Fold the connected sheets (with the colored portion out) into halves 3 times to make a total of 8 panels on the accordion. Using the folds as guide, re-fold each page of the accordion alternately stating with the first panel white side out.
Part 2: Cover
a) Trace a decorative sheet for a creative front and back cover. Make sure that all their sides are at least 1/2-inch wider than the panel of the accordion. Fold all the 1/2-inch wider than the panel of the accordion. Fold all the 1/2-inch allowances towards the back of the sheet and paste with Bic Glue Stick. b) Apply Bic Glue Stick on the whole back of the sheet and adhere to the front white side panel of the accordion to serve as your creative cover.
