Create mark envelope

ah hi everyone necie here so yesterday I uploaded the flip through of this envelope fight folio that I made and I said I would do a create with me show you how I made it so I am going to do that now you are going to have to bear with me cuz I'm not very good at video these tutorial things I'm very new to them and last time I did them my video cut out after half an hour so I'm going to try and keep it within half an hour if it does cut out then I'll upload it and then start a new video from where it cut off and I'm sorry it's the best I can do for you so anyway um I we have a scrap store where I live and it's basically a big warehouse where companies donate a whole load of excess stock of things and you go in and you fill a black bag for something like 7 pounds and last time I was there they had these envelopes they're called gusset envelopes and I think it's because they have this section here like Augusta and they're quite large they're the a4 ones I got them at a scrap store I have never seen these before although I would imagine most office supply stores would have them as would i would imagine amazon ebay places like that i don't know how much they are because i haven't bought them i got them in scrap store however if you don't have envelopes like this with a fold there's nothing stopping you from using just normal a4 brown envelopes I don't have any bread a for brown envelopes but I do have the white ones with Windows and they are generally the same size if you were using normal envelopes you're going to have to readjust your measures to measurements to match your envelope obviously but there's no reason why you couldn't use these the paper is thinner on these though than it is on this but because we're backing it with card I don't think that would matter too much so anyway let's get started because I'm trying to keep it within half an hour so we are going to make this it's also going to be quite hard to keep it in the camera shop because it is quite large but I will do my best to keep it in camera for you so we're going to use two two gusset envelopes don't actually think they are a4 I think they're a bit bigger than more yeah they're a bit bigger than a four because I mean that's my 12 inch ruler on it see 12 inches is there so I'd say they're about 13 by 9 now these envelopes have got score lines on the flap there and basically that's score line there is what I used as the spine to hold the journal on both of them so we are basically gonna take two envelopes fold them on the score line and then we are going to join them together kind of bit fiddley cuz they're so big but we're basically going to join them together like that with the flaps you see so we're going to have one flap on the outside and that flap we're going to take tuck tuck on to the inside so the first thing we want to do with these envelopes is you've scored it on the flap and that score line if you are using envelopes that don't already have it is that about three of an inch board and we are scoring at them envelopes at put the flap end in there and then we're going to score at seven I am absolutely rubbish at scoring it's quite hard for me to keep it in the groove I tend to slide all over the place and seven and a quarter so scoring at seven and seven and a quarter because it's a doubled envelope I'm going to fold over and do that on the other side as well seven seven and a quarter gives us our spine for the flip outs if you're using another envelope you're going to have to try and work out where you need your score lines but basically when you want to fold it in half you when you come to folding it you don't want this edge has to be in front of this edge you don't want them lining up like that you want a bit of a gap for the fold out so seven and seven and we're gonna just fold on those score lines I tend to finger fold it first especially when you've got little score lines and then I will furnish it and then on the little one bit fiddly and burnish it and then that will give you your other little spine there and it will fold out like so so we're going to do that we do that on both of them that's one here's the other one just finger fold it along that one and then on there we go now to join the envelopes this is our spine bit this bit will be going inside here now because that's going to be exposed on that inside flap I covered that with a strip of deed he died paper just justice because I didn't want if you're going to use it as a pocket I didn't want anything to just be catching on this so I'm the sticky so I just peeled that off and I just covered it with a piece of tea dyed paper just any strip will do trim the edges off don't really need you to be honest now I reinforced the center strip with I think it's called Tyvek havoc the Americans make an envelopes out of it it's kind of like it's a paper that's got fibers in it and it's really really strong I get mine off of Amazon so these strips are 9 by 2 9 by 2 and pretty much I would ice glued a strip on the bottom so just a normal tacky glue I use joining the two together is actually quite fiddly because you've got to work under the flap I hope you can see what I'm doing it's actually easier that you've got the gussets on the side because you can open it up wider so we're just gonna slide that into there like so you see so that it covers the spine and smooth that down into place it's just for a reinforcement honestly I don't know why I did this because I then add fabric to the spines as well and fabric on its own really is quite a good reinforcement and I don't do it on these ones I just did it on the middle one I'm a bit obsessed with reinforcing things I don't know oh isn't it let me get it differently oh it's just so typical okay I'll have to use this one it's got a smaller nib on it though let me just get piece of paper because now I've got a huge blob of glue just spread that out with a bit of paper these things always happen when you're on camera that wasn't embarrassing much was it this is a finer nib one but I tend to use this for smaller sticking down stuff but it's all I have at hand now so it will do and again this one you just slide it in like we did with the other one can actually tuck it under the tea dyed paper if you want like I say it doesn't really matter because I'm going to put fabric here and in all honesty you don't even have to put the Terek there because we're going to put fabric there and that's a good reinforcer on its own so then we get both now this flap here is going to go inside here what you want to do is fold your just reinforce your folds again because you kind of need them to guide where you're putting one inside the other you can actually put little pencil marks on those folds if you want yeah happens to be just on there because we are going to cover them and it can make it easier for lining up we just reinforce these ones [Music] right so the TDI slap is going to go inside the other one so I'm going to glue this section first hopefully that's in camera you're just gonna slide it in the same way you slide the Tyvek in but you want to line it up on this fold here on these lines here my pencil needs sharpening so open it up and you literally just slide it in to the folds see this is a lot easier when you're not doing it on camera because trying to keep it in line but do you see how it kind of you have to kind of get it to match up with that so that when it folds it folds together nicely so you can practice it like that and then when you've got it lined up you just smooth it down inside and then you should have it like that so that it folds up like so and when you've got it like that you can put some glue on this ends down the spine bit and along this flap now I suppose in you could leave this just glue down the sides and use that as a pocket but I didn't do that because there's so many pockets on this anyway peel that off because it's just extra sticky put some glue down the edge and then you just stick that flap down and that is the basis that then makes the basis of the folio do you see now on this one I trimmed the edge off I did do it on the main one I've got to show it in the video but on the main actual tutorial the main folio I did sorry I'm not the camera there are big end pockets here and again here but you don't have to trim the end off to be honest you don't have to I did on this one this was not the envelope I was planning on using but I trimmed a bit off anyway and that's the base is now the next thing I want to do is cover do my fabrics reinforce my fabrics so what I've done is I've pre-cut my fabric when I did my main one I used a rotary cutter and sliced my finger on it so these are marked and cut with the scissors so what you need is four strips that measure two inches of white it's two inches by just a tad under nine just a little bit under nine like her sixteenth under nine inches down and you need four of those and then you need to bigger strips which I've done at three across so you've got four at two and two at three by just under nine down now on this one I kind of used like a netting type fabric but I didn't have any of that left I was at my sister's when I made that and that is all I had for this one I've kind of used a ram it's almost like a suede fabric but I would recommend you use just a cotton just cotton fabric to be honest it's a lot easier this doesn't stick as well but I've cut it so I'm going to use it so yeah cotton fabric so with this we're just going to glue it in and basically I'll start in the middle bit and again I'm just using the tacky glue it seemed to work now it doesn't matter if you get this perfect or not because the ends are going to be covered they're running and you're only going to really see the middle bit it just gives it that added reinforcement really because of where you're going to be bending the envelopes a lot so this we're going to tuck it in the same way we tucked in the UM flaps so I do one side first open on camera it is a bit fiddly because fabric tends to have a mind of its own but it doesn't and it's messy but it does really doesn't matter so you do the one side and lift it and just tuck it in on the other side you will have to do a bit of maneuvering it is a bit fiddly can be messy but it doesn't matter if it's not perfect because these this is all going to get covered in card smooth it down like so then ideally you would leave this to dry for quite a while before you bend it again because it can buckle the fabric if you don't let it grow if it's still wet you get like rippling that's it so we used the three inch pieces in the middle and the two inch pieces are for the smaller spines thus more spice and then you just put it over the center and doesn't matter if it's death straight because like I keep saying oh it's gonna get covered in cards so just smooth it down make sure it's stuck that site and then this is where it goes off camera you need quite a long desk for this I don't really have a long desk and then that one will go here so some glue on the center like that one down and then we're just going to turn it over and do the same thing on the other side for the spines so we're going to put our big piece over this bit checking still recording because it is gain to the half-hour mark I'm so new to this I don't know how you do videos cut them paste them together fast-forward through things I don't really know anything about video entertained so I do it all on my phone so they're not very professional I do apologize for that but I'm doing the best I can I'm quite new to this getting less nervous though so I suppose that's something and then on this side now when you've done this like I say I personally would leave it to dry for a bit before you start bending it again but while it's drying we can start doing our flip ups just add this last piece in I always worry that these bits are boring in videos I know a lot of people fast forward speed through them but like I say I am NOT that tech savvy I'm afraid right those are your fabric reinforcements now while that is drying what we would do now is cut our flap pieces so in this one I had a flip up on this section and on this section they're both the same size really so you're gonna need some brown card and your flat pieces need to measure well I did mine by 5 and hot I did mine five and a half inches by nine and a half inches so if I just put that to the side I use just brown craft paper cards sorry card and just trim it down to this will be out a camera I'm afraid I think but I'm sure you know how to cut your pieces so I need it's five and a half two you need to at five and a half by nine and a half nine and then for the envelope flip up that we have that we put the little notebooks and you need two pieces that are two and three quarters by five now the long piece that you just sliced off should be exactly turn three quarters so when you get this big bit when you cut that down to five and a half you're left with a strip of two and three quarters that's strictly just cut into two five inch pieces one two then you're going to need your school board again and with your school board on the small ones that we cut out so on the small cards you are going to score half an inch down the long side so it's just half an inch on the long side of the small ones half an inch and on the big ones you're going to score half an inch on the short side and then on the larger ones we are going to round the bottom corners not this not the end you scored but the other end just round the corners like so now on the smaller ones what we're going to do is on the top so on opposite side you scored so you scored here up here you're going to mark one inch in and four inches in do those on both pieces one inch and 4 inches then we get our cutter now you want to line it up with your school your way you sorry where you've marked here pencil mark to the score line so if you want line your wire up so let me put a pencil line on the score line so you can see it there's our score line there's our mark one inch mark line it up so that the wire is touching both marks I don't know if you can see it I hope you can or I hope you can understand and then you just cut that end off so you're left with that do you see and then do the same on the other side just cutting that triangle off like so do those on both of them show you again pencil line and school line just slice it up pencil line and school line now my corner rounder doesn't work on these kind of corners I don't know if you can actually get corn around as that rat work on slanted corners so what I generally do with my small scissors but they're not at hand is just try and round them off myself a bit not perfect at it but it doesn't matter if you're not perfect this it's a junk journal and that's the beauty of junk journals obviously you want to get a rubber and rub off these pencil lines as well so you're left with two small ones and two larger ones now at this stage I would ink all of these and I would also in call of this around the edges so I would ink all around they're round they're round they're up there and on the other side I would ink it all but how boring would it be to watch me ink all of that and all of these so I did actually do one last night where I made the exact same thing but I just inked it so I think it's this and I have inked my flat pieces as well so now and also this has had chance to dry so once it's dry you can just then refold your lines crease your lines in just refold them and crease them in like that once your fabrics dry then we can glue in our flaps so this is the cover open in it we're going to put a flap on this one so this flap is going to go here now I need to do it at this angle so pretty much because we're not going to do a flap let me see because we're not doing a flap on this side only this side but we're going to glue the whole gun that's it all the way down down so it will be shut on that side and that side so what I do is I will put glue I don't know if you can see it all the way but I'm putting glue inside on the bottom of the gusset all the way to the edge and then I will put glue on the top it's not how would I explain it so this flap is going to go in here so it flaps down like that so you want the glue on this side just a strip of glue on that side now our flats going to go in here so we're going to line it up not all the way to the fold because you want it to this is just not going my way right so not all the way to the fold because you want to be able to fold it down like so so you're tucking it in the gusset line it up and then smooth it down so it grips it don't want to sticking out too far obviously but you don't want it all the way and then you just smooth down this side as well so we're not going to be putting anything in that gusset so we want it shut I don't know what if that's it like so that way you've got your flip on that side so there's our first flip on that side now we're not putting anything along the bottom of this one so we're also going to glue the bottom gusset shut Justin you just don't want it's locking so just put some glue inside the gusset all the way along and glue it down then that way that's not going to keep coming open you don't want that gaping glue it down look closed so that's the flip on this side so it opens and there's your flip now on the other side I did the large flip on this end piece and so your large flip is going to go here inside the gusset if you don't have a gusset envelope you could just glue it to the back because you're going to cover it with card so the big ones going to go there and then we're going to put one of the little ones on this section here see now again now I have to do it at this angle because that's the easiest way to do it for me so what I'm going to do is because this end is closed it's easier to stick the big one in first and then stick the little one in because the little one's more open so with this one I'm just going to put glue up to the halfway mark on the bottom and on this side I don't even know if you can see that hold on okay on this side of the flap we're going to put blue so we've got blue just on the bottom at the halfway mark and on this side of the flap and then this we will start look at how I'm shaking that will go in just like the other one did line it up just line it up not right to the fold because you want to be able to fold it over not right to the end leave a bit of a space between you and the end and then smooth that down and now this side you can reopen it put some glue on the rest of the bottom to the end and on your little flap you want the blue on this fit on that bit slide it in try to eyeball it but try to get it kind of Center ish it doesn't it's not really that matters that much but you want to kind of Center s don't you make sure you can fold it down and smooth it now on the bottom of this side we are going to add the other little flap to the bottom of this one so it's going to go in here like that and nothing on that side so again see if I'm in camera we are going to put glue all the way from one end maybe lift that out the way all the way to the end of this gusset because we wanted the whole gusset closed and on the flap we're just going to put it on this side yeah can you see that just on that side we're going to put glue and then we're going to line it up so again that it's kind of Center ish you want it to kind of I suppose I really should have measured it let me see that one's about two centimeters in [Music] so this one let's do it you want it about two centimeters in sets just move it over a little bit that's about to send to me is you can mark measure that and Mark it I'm just worrying about time now cuz I'm on about 45 minutes and I don't think it's cut out yet so I think I'm doing well and that's the basis so we now have our folio this will be our cover you open it first section with our first flip here second section this will be our envelope flip up and then the next flip up is here okay I am actually going to stop it there and what I would do is do another video showing you how I did I'll do another video showing how I did this flip this envelope flip and how I did this envelope flip as well and maybe we can start covering it as well and decorating it but I'm going to stop it there for this one I hope you found that easy enough to follow I hope I explained it okay I tried my best to keep it in camera shop but because it's so big it wasn't easy I hope you managed to see it all and I'm can't wait to see what you all come out with please do leave me a comment if there was any problems with it at all so that I know for future videos where I'm going wrong if possible because I would like to continue doing these type of videos and it's a learning curve for me so if you have any advice on anything that I'm doing wrong or you think I could improve on please do let me know so yeah I'll leave it for there and then I will come do another video showing you how I did those envelope flips so thanks for watching please do like and subscribe bye
