A project from our live show MIGHTY MONDAY - Join Toni for her detailed papercrafting sessions - Broadcast 25th November 24 · 25/11/2024 · watch it from 23:00
Create a versatile double-pocket page for your 6x6 album featuring decorative patterned papers in rich florals with blues, pinks and golds. This clever design offers storage pockets on both the front and back surfaces, maximising space for photos, journaling cards and embellishments. The project uses simple folding and adhering techniques to construct a functional hinged page that opens to reveal both pocket areas.
Score a half-inch hinge along one edge of your 6x6 patterned paper using your scoring tool.
