Hey everyone, Im here for a quick tutorial to show you how to make an insert using A4 sheets without having to trim anything to size. With the eco papers I created in Part 1,  I simply folded a sheet into half width ways first, to create a crease in the middle of the paper then folded it down on itself length ways to produce another crease at exactly half point. It is an this half way point that you need to cut all the way across so that one A4 piece of paper, produces 2 pages to go in my insert. Each page will now measure 4 1/8" W x 5 3/4" H Go ahead and cut a whole heap of pages for your insert. I used 10 A4 pages to give me 20 pages. To make the cover for each insert, I chose these 2 papers..  and cut them to 8.5" W (score in centre at 4.25" x 5.75" H (to be flush with papers, or 6" to be a little bit larger).

Firstly, that tray is full of lukewarm coffee and that is a whole pile of copier paper Step 1- Dip papers into the coffee tray and lay them in the greenhouse (this stops the papers from being blown around all over my backyard and it's pretty warm in there so they dry in no time on fine sunny days). Step 2- Lay your leaves / flowers on top. ...
