Phase Wrappers

Preventative conservation project time: making phase wrappers for my antique books and magazines. Archival folder board from Gaylord, acid-free bookbinding glue from Blick, and the world's largest roll of velcro dots from Amazon.

Wrapper unfolds flat, without disturbing the book within.

Overlapping leaves protect the book or magazine on all sides.

Et voila!

Honestly, the measuring took longest.
Now to finish cutting acid-free tissue paper for the inserts--the inks on some of the magazines' colored plates are damaging the adjacent pages, so adding thin barrier will help protect them.
