1. Origami Photo Album

2. Materials Double sided card stock – you need an odd number of pages to make a complete album. – Paper should be cut into squares two times the size of the desired finished product. Double Stick tape-permanent Embellishments of your choosing

3. Organize Determine which color you want for the outside. I chose to alternate the colors of the pages.

4. Step 1 Fold paper, making sure that the outside color is on the outside. Open up the paper, rotate and fold again.

5. Step 2 Open up the paper, rotate and fold into a triangle. Even number pages should have this fold reversed, for an outward crease.

6. Step 2 Continued It should look like this when you open it up.

7. Step 3 Fold the paper along the creases, tucking in the corners as pictured. Repeat steps 1-3 for all pages

8. Put It All Together Open the paper for page 1 and on one of the un-creased corners place double stick tape (along all edges).

9. Putting It All Together Place the “top” corner of page 2 on top of page one section with double stick tape, ensuring that the outside of page 2 is adhered to the tape. Everything will be at an angle at this point. Repeat for all pages
