I thought of making a mini album of my nephew Asti's baby photos which his Dad Clarence could put in his wallet and bring anywhere with him.
First off, you'll need the following materials:
PVC Glue
Ruler
Cutting Board
Cutter or Scissors
Old Calendar ~ to be used as the book cover
Acrylic Yarn ~ for tying the book together
Silver Paper ~ to cover the book cover :D
 |
| So I printed these 6 adorable pictures of Asti on plain paper so the length is more or less 12 inches since each photo is 1.5" wide and 2" long with a little gap between them. |
When cutting the strip, leave a little gap in between each photo to make a some sort of border. You'll need that border for the folds of the accordion.
 |
| So now you can start folding. You really don't have to leave a blank page like I did. That's just a result of my miscalculation :) |
 |
| Folded! |
 |
| Position the book cover on the silver paper then punch 2 holes on each side for the yarn to pass through |
 |
| Thread the yarn through the punched holes |
Make sure that only the two ends of the yarn are protruding out of the 2 holes. This will become the ribbon tie for the book.
 |
| Glue the book cover on the silver paper, sandwiching the yarn in between them |
Now do the same on the other book cover only without the yarn.
 |
| The glue made the cover kinda messy but it was okay because this part would be covered by the pictures anyway |
Now stick the photos on to the book covers
 |
| Now that messy glue will be covered by the photos :) |
Done!
 |
| The minibook closed... |
 |
| And here it is open...nice! |
Love, love, loved it! Will make another one with my Marti's photos :)
