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. |

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.
