Take each page one at a time and push it in as far as it will go under one of the cover flaps Hold the flap down and score along the edge of it.
Remove the sheet, turn it over and insert the same end under the flap. Score this side also.
This step may not be necessary if you are using lightweight papers, but for heavier papers, this insures that the pages will lie flat enough to work on.
Use the spacer that came in the album as a template.
Place it evenly within the scored area of the page and trace where the holes need to go.
Do this on all twelve pages.
Use a hole punch to make the holes where you traced from the template.
You may be able to punch two pages at once while holding them evenly together.
Replace your stack of pages on the post screws with the spacers in front and back.
Screw the posts snugly against them.
Go through the finished journal and fold each page flat along the score line to flatten it. Then go through backwards and do it again.
After that, your pages should open nicely for working on them.
