Matchbook

Today on the Practical Scrappers blog our challenge was to use staples. I decided to add extra photos to my layout with staples, but just didn't want to staple them to my page, so I created a matchbook to add these wallet sized photos in:

 

Here are a few close ups:

Here is how I made my matchbook:

 

Cut cardstock 6 1/4" x 3 6/8"

Score at 3/4", 3 3/4", 3 7/8" and fold.

Punch holes, I used my 1/8" eyelet setter, on the bottom flap through the back layer also. Use ribbon and tie a bow. You can add eyelets, but the ribbon does cover the holes.

Print wallet size photos (2 1/2" x 3 1/4") stack them neatly and staple the bottom flap and photos to the back of the matchbook.

Tuck the top  flap under the stapled bottom flap.

Decorate/ embellish as desired

 

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial!
Have a great day!
