Here’s a quick mini album tutorial I created for Graphic 45. You can make it using some manila
tags, Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar patterned papers, chipboards, tags and ribbon.
I’ll be showing you how to bind the mini album using Japanese stab stitching,
which is a simple yet pretty binding.

Materials:
Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar Mystical Masterpiece
Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar Tags and Pockets
Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar Chipboards
Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar Stickers
Manila Tags – 2 for the cover, 6 for the inside pages
Ribbon
Sewing Needle
Eyelet
Flowers
Instructions:
1. Select two manila tags as your front and back covers and
attach patterned papers to both sides of each. Create a hole template for your
mini album spine. To do this, cut
a one inch strip and punch three holes down the centre.
--> 2. Score one inch from the left on the front cover and all the pages of the mini album.
-->
3. Using your template, punch holes through both covers and
all the inside pages.
-->
4. Thread your ribbon through a sewing needle. To begin,
take your needle down hole 2, leaving a 3” tail. Then bring your needle up
through hole 1.
-->
5. Take your
needle around the spine of hole 1, then thread back up hole 1 again.
-->
6. Wind your ribbon round the top of the mini album then
back up through hole 1 again. Next, bring your needle down hole 2 and up
through hole 3. Now repeat at hole 3 what you did at hole 1. That is, wind the
ribbon round the spine of the hole 3, up through hole 3, down the bottom of the
mini album, then up through hole 3 again.

7. Bring your ribbon up to hole 2, tie a knot and a pretty
bow and you’re done binding your tag mini album. Now decorate to your heart’s
delight.
