On the TWELTH Day of Christmas....

....I made a teeny, tiny Stocking Stuffer mini! This mini is made from a single piece of 6" x 12" paper or card stock. A few snips, a few folds and VOILA! a baby mini is born!







Score 6" x 12" piece of double sided paper along the shorter length at 2" 4" 6" 8" and 10". Score along the long length at 3".



Cut from edge to center score at 2", 6", and 10" along one side of center score and from edge to center score at 4" and 8" along other side of center score.

Check out the video for how to cut and fold.



Here's a larger version that we will be making on a future Ustream show.



I hope you have enjoyed this years Twelve Days of Christmas projects. I had a lot of fun with it!!

Happy Holidays!!
Laura

Just a Note on 12/24/10: OMG! I didn't even know the Meander Album existed until this morning when I read some of the comments on Youtube! GEEZ! I usually do my research but I didn't on this one. The Meander Album is one of those projects that has been around for years it appears...how did I miss it!! I couldn't find who originated it...if someone knows, let me know. The Meander Album is a similar concept, but cut slightly differently and makes a 3 x 3 album.

    hi Laura

    I love the 12th day of Christmas mini album, and the other 11 days of Christmas. Love the finger counters. I can't wait to get to my craft table and paper to make some mini albums today. You are a great paper architect. Thank you for sharing your beatiful talent.

    Have a happy Merry Christmas and have a great new year.

    Merry Christmas to all, and a happy new year.

    This is EXACTLY what I need for Bible Memory verse booklets! One per quarter (12 verses per booklet; one verse per week :D) I'm so excited - we can start fresh in January!
    Thank you for your wonderful designs.
    I pray for good health for you and your family and Merry Christmas!

    Hi Laura,

    Happy happy merry merry wonderful fantastic terrific Christmas to you and your family.
    This little mini is adorable. Love love love it.
    I like Teri's idea to use it for a bible memory verse booklet. I may have to make them for my prayer group. We are having our Christmas party in January so I have time to make some of these. My nieces birthday is in January and these would make cute party favors also. The kids would like them.
    Thank you so much for sharing all of your great ideas with us. You are truly amazing!!!
    Have a blessed Christmas and happy healthy New Year!!!

    Adorable - I have done this with a 12 x 12 sheet years ago. But by folding it a different way you get a portrait "booklet".
    Like your little pockets.
    TFS!!
