Tutorial-Mini Pocket Book

Here is my tutorial for making the Mini Pocket Book, I show binding it using the Crop-A-Dile as well as the Bind-It-All.

Start with a full 12×12 sheet of Designer Series Paper.  Score it at 2", 6" and 10" on one side and 3", 6", and 9" on the other.  Add Sticky Strip as shown in the picture.

Fold up the two 2" flaps and fold it down the middle, the asteriks show where you would place the Sticky Strip.

Using a paper cutter or a pair of scissors, cut down 9" from one edge on the middle score line.

Then fold mountains and valleys as shown.

Add Sticky strip along this edge.

Start spreading the two sides apart 

Continue until the book is in a line.

Gather the folds to look like this. Notice the circle at the bottom, this section goes into the Bind-It-All first

Place the bottom of the "W" into the Bind-It-All and punch (the book is too thick to do all at once)

Then punch holes in the other two bottom W folds

Add the 1/2" coils and decorate as desired.

To use your Crop-A-Dile, start from this step and push all the folds together

Use the Crop-A-Dile to punch three holes in the spine

Add ribbons to keep it closed and decorate as desired.
