Prima Package Inspiration

Marie-Nicolas Alliot shows us how she used Prima packaging for inspiration behind her amazing Fall Mini-Album! Let's jump right in:

 

Today, I want to show you how to recycle a package from Donna Downey iron-ons. I use them for binding my mini album. Do you want to see?

 

Choose four papers from the new Prima releases. Trace the outline of the packaging with a pen on the four papers and cut them out.

 

Cut four papers 3.75 x 12 inches and fold them in the middle.  Fold the labels in the middle too.

 

Bind the two pages together with the label page on top as shown. Round the corners of the long papers.

Decorate your pages and after: glue pages back to back.

EX: Pages 1 and 2 are shown above. Glue the back of page 1 (on left) to the cover and glue page 2 to the back of page 3. The back of page 4 will be glued to the back of page 5. etc.

For the spine: Cover the book covers with a paper of 3.75 x 2 inches. Bend at the locations of the arrows. Add glue on the back. 

Cut the last label in the middle and glue it on the album.

Finish decorating!

 

Here is the finished album!
