Make the covers described in A and the leaves of a heavy paper.
Green or brown screenings look well and give a background generally
harmonious with colored postcards. The size of the leaves should be
sufficient to leave a generous margin around the card. If two are to be
placed on one page, have the space between less than the margins around
the edges. A little additional margin at the bottom is always pleasing.
Slits for holding the cards may be made in the following manner: cut a
blank sheet of paper of the size of a postal card and from each corner
measure both vertically and horizontally 1 to 1¼ inches and connect
the adjacent corners with straight lines. Place this pattern in proper
position and use the ends of the lines on it to locate the lines to be
drawn on the page itself. It a hole is punched at each end of the line,
it gives a neat appearance and prevents the paper from tearing easily.
The lines on the page should be cut with a sharp knife. Insert each
card by placing its corners in the slits.
A second set of oblique lines parallel to those already described may
be drawn and cut three-eighths of an inch farther from each corner.
This will form a strap to hold the cards in place, and on the opposite
side of the leaf cards may be inserted in the outside slits.
