I loved reading all the comments on yesterday's post about Project Life!  I got a few e-mails with people wondering where they could get more information about Project Life.  This post has a bunch of good links.

Yesterday I mentioned that I made some custom page protectors for my Project Life album.  I wanted to show you how easy it is to do!

I am going to turn a 12×12 page protector into two 6×12 page protectors, but this method works for any size protector you'd like to craft.

STEP ONE: Cut a 12×12 page protector in half.  

(Or to any size you wish.)

1.1

 I tried using scissors, but a paper cutter really is faster and cleaner for this step.

1.2

STEP TWO: Tape up the edge.

Start with the half that has the holes.  One edge is completely open.

2

Close up that edge by applying a strip of washi tape longer than the page protector.  Allow the tape to hang over the edge of the page protector.

2.1

 Flip it over.  You should have a small edge of exposed tape.

2.2

 Stick another piece of washi tape on the back of the protector so that it exactly lines up with the first piece of tape.  The two exposed edges seal together to create a nice edge for your page protector.

2.3

 Trim off the excess tape at the top and bottom of the protector with scissors.

2.4

 Congratulations, you have created a new page protector!

2.5

STEP THREE: Create a thick edge.

The other protector has a problem.  It has a sealed edge, but no holes to allow you to put it in a binder.  That means that we need to build a new edge.

Apply washi tape to both sides, as we did with the first protector.

3

 Now add a second layer of tape to both sides.  Slightly overlap the previous washi tape in order to make the edge a bit wider. 

4

I used Artists Tape for my second layer as it's a bit firmer than washi tape.

Trim the excess bits, as before.

5

STEP FOUR: Make holes happen.

I placed the page protector with holes over the one without holes and used a pencil to mark where the holes were.

6

 Then I punched the holes with a Crop-o-dile Big Bite.

6.1

 (Sadly, my tool punches super raggedy holes.  I've tried sharpening it with tinfoil, etc. but it doesn't do anything.  Anybody have any suggestions?)

6.2

 I added some hole reinforcements to make sure that everything held up to lots of flipping.

6.3

 And now I've got two brand new page protectors!

Final

 Remember, you can make them any size that fits your needs!

Here's a custom page protector in use:

Custompageprotector

 And here's one where I stitched the edge closed:

Sewnprotector

It's so much easier to make the page protectors fit your needs, than to make your stuff fit into the page protectors!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • My crop a dile makes raggedy holes in soft plastic also. The solution is to put a piece of scrap paper under the plastic and then punch through the paper and plastic. Place it so the cutting die hits the paper first. Perfect holes! Thanks for all your creative ideas that you share with us!!

  • Hi Julie, I sharpen my punches with black sandpaper – it’s the stuff that’s used for metal. Yellow sandpaper is for wood. It is over here (in Australia) anyway! Just make sure you use sandpaper intended for metal – a fine grade one. Put it in your crop-o-dile and punch it a few times (about five) and then turn the paper over and punch it another five times. Repeat if necessary. Hopefully it works for you, usually does the trick to smooth out the raggedy bits. Thanks for your Project Life thoughts – loved reading them.

  • LOVE this idea! I’ve been seeing so many PL pages that have been trimmed down to fit certain pics/inserts, etc. but personally, I have not incorporated the ideas into my own PL since I would feel like I was totally wasting the remainder of the page protector, which is left hole-less. This idea totally solves that problem and also involves my new love of washi tape!
    Thanks so much for sharing and for the great tutorial!
    P.S. Do you mind if I pin this on Pinterest? If not, it’s totally okay. 😉

  • Julie, new to your site and love all the stuff and tutorials you have. Looking at your cutter I was wondering what brand you are using? And if you’re happy with it?
    I’m new to ping PL and doing most stuff digital and am searching for the ultimate paper trimmer.
    I looked at Carl and others, saw one that had a laser light to guide you, I’m just overwhelmed. Since I also have to trim my photos with them I can shell out a bit more, but would love to stay under $100
    Anyone besides Julie who has a great trimmer feel free to jump in, would love to hear opinions.

  • Thank you so much for this post! I was looking on some tips for cutting down page protectors to fit my 7×7 Creative Memories albums … they are going for almost $20 a pack on eBay! Using your advice I just cut down a pack of 8×8 protectors and you really can’t tell the difference unless you know what you’re looking for. Thank you, you saved me a ton of money!

  • This is EXACTLY what I had been looking for. I bought a ring bound photo album without plastic and thought it was A4 but it is not, it is much smaller and no plastic sleeves fit. The holes are in a weird spot too so I have to make the second version. Thank you so much!
