Making a …. Scrapbook/photo book/album?
I ordered a couple 4×6 and 5×7 photos for christmas presents and I want to create a small little scrapbook/photo book/album type thing to put them in, but I have no idea how to do any of the three. I need it to be something where I can use things around the house because I cannot go out and buy anything…does anyone have any ideas or sites that could help me out? Help is much appreciated, thanks
You can make really pretty albums with stuff you have around the house.
First, take 2 pieces of cardboard just a little bigger than your photo. Set them down one on top of the other and tape up one end to make a spine. Use a nice wide tape.
Glue or tape plain paper to the inside covers, or use old wrapping paper or greeting cards – anything smooth.
On the outside, make paper mache medium out of white glue with water, or use decoupage medium if you have any – and tear up bits of crepe paper, tissue paper, paper napkins, even flower petals – whatever you have that’s pretty. Bunch them up on the front and back of the album and slather them with the glue.
After that’s dry, cut 2 sheets of plain paper to the same size as your photo or a tiny bit bigger, but still the same size but double the width so that you can fold each sheet to make 2 pages. Open your album and place the open pages on top of it.
With a large needle, run some ribbon through all layers, including the spine of the book. Now you can mount your picture and whatever else you would like, onto the 8 pages. I wish I had some pictures for you but I just thought it up!
