how to measure, cut and fold 50 record-sleeves in five hours or less

although it took us about seven. the following is a tutorial for anyone who wants to do something like this themselves in the future. the work is repetetive and very slightly boring, but it's fun with a friend, and the end result makes it all worth it.



1. measure up an A3 size sheet of 250g/m2 paper, and divide it into three parts in 26cm by 14.8cm size





2. once you have three same-size pieces, give each an 8mm margin on the long (26cm) side




3. fold the paper so that the 14.8cm sides are in line with each other:




4. cut two small triangles either side of the center crease, make sure they don't go over the 8mm line!




5. cut off both margins that don't have the triangle cut near the center crease



6. fold the remaining two margins inside and glue them to the opposite surface before placing them under a press of your choice (we used two atlases and a bowling ball)
