Hi everyone :-)
Have made an easy tutorial on how to make a photo / mini album from start to finish using the summer fun Bye the Sea paper collection from Graphic 45. This tutorial is for new beginner or just want to make a quick and easy photo album .This album can be made in any size you like and it requires no other tool than a pair of scissors, ruler and a score tool. Will show how to make pocket expanding pages, the binding, cover and decorate the album finish.
Will show tow to make this layered cover and will also give you some suggestion if you like an easy cover without any fussy cutting.
Video tutorial from start to finish.
The base for the album start at 4 minutes to 17 minutes and the rest of the video I show how to make pockets and decorate the album.
Inside cover and 1. front page with a photo mat inside.
1. Backside page with a pocket and 2. front page with a belly band.
2. Backside page with a side pocket. 3 Page front with a pocket .
3.Page backside with pockets and tags cut out to hold the photo mat.
4 front page with some stripes to hold the photo mat.
4. Backside page with a angle pocket. 5. Front page wit a tag and a image to hold the photo mat.
5. backside page and inside back cover.
Backside cover with a photo mat inside the pocket.
Here you can write a note to the receiver and tell them to glue the photo mat on the backside after :-)
Measurements for the page but this you can make any size you like :-)
The finish pages for this album is 8 x 5 1/2
You can recyckle some house hold chipboard and glue 2 together or use a study chipboard.
On the photo it says 8 x 6 but the correct is 8 1/2 x 6.
Just add 1/2 inch more than the pages.
Will also show how you can decorate the pages more easy if you don`t like to fussy cut out the images.
Now it is finish to add you photos or give it as a gift to a friend :-)
