Coaster Mini-Album

1. Cut a piece of patterned paper 4 1/2” square. I use coasters for the cover, but you can use any 4” sq cardboard/chipboard

2. Wrap the patterned paper around the coaster.

3. Cut 3 pieces of colored or white card stock 8” sq. fold in half and then open and fold in half again. So there are diagonal lines across them.

4. Glue the pages together as in the picture.

5. Once the book is folded adhere to the covers.

6. Cut a 10”x1” strip of card stock to create your binding for the book.

7. Embellish as you wish. I used a ribbon and a brad to decorate this one and give the book binding a little more strength. From beginning to end this takes about 10 minutes, which is particularly nice for a last minute hand made gift.
