Coffee Sleeve Album How To
This is a very easy album to make with the sleeves you get on coffee at Starbucks etc.
First gather your supplies: 2-3 coffee sleeves, matching paper, ribbon, stickers etc. For mine I used the Art Freckles 'Cuz It's My Birthday Kit. I only used 2 coffee sleeves.
Cut each of your coffee sleeves along the right hand seam and open up. Punch 2 holes with a Cropodile or hole punch along the centre seam to tie your ribbon. Line each of your other sleeves over top of your first, so all of your punched holes line up.
Embellish your pages as desired. You may need to trim a little off the ends of your middle pages so they don't stick out when the album is put together. I liked the look of the cardboard, so I left it, but you can trace around the sleeve and cut your paper to totally cover the sleeves if you like.
To tie your album together, put your album in order, open it up to the centre, thread your ribbon through the punched holes, fold closed and tie a tight knot and bow on the outside of the album.
Here are my inside pages:

Hope you like my little how to! Enjoy your NSD and keep on scrapping!!
