The document provides instructions for making a folding photo album with three sheets of paper. It describes: 1. Cutting the paper into squares and folding each sheet in half horizontally and vertically, creating a center crease on one diagonal fold. 2. Assembling the folded sheets with the diagonal creases facing inward and alternating the open points. 3. Adhering the sheets together to form the album pages and attaching patterned cardboard covers with ribbon.

and four triangles, (you then wall be attaching your pages together at the
squares). Set aside.
