Thank you for joining us for the Accordion Hinge Album Workshop. During the presentation, we learned how to make a 5x7" handmade book featuring artwork from Club Scrap's Riverbend collection.

Accordion Hinge Album Workshop Class Along Kit

Each kit contains the supplies needed to make a beautiful handmade album. The finished book measures 5x7" and features a clever and unique spine structure. (A few additional materials and tools will be required.)

During the class, we'll trim all of the papers together according to an efficient plan, score and fold the pages, and then assemble the album. I'll share lots of helpful, time-saving tips along the way. Once you've mastered the process, re-use your instructions to create more handmade books with supplies from your stash. You'll be ready for holiday gift giving in no time!

Each 5x7" page perfectly accommodates matted vertical 4x6" photos.

The unique accordion hinge spine design means there's plenty of room for expansion. Don't be afraid to load up the pages page with photos and embellishments.
