There are probably thousands of great ways to make a photo album... but here are a few to get your creative juices flowing.
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 3:
Notebook/binder
Method 2
Method 2 of 3:
Cardboard sandwich
Cut two sheets of press board, tagboard or heavy cardboard to the same dimensions.
Cut as many sheets of photo magnet paper or just plain cardstock to the same dimensions as the pressboard "covers".
Stack all layers as desired.
Punch a minimum of two holes along one side of the stacked layers to tie the layers together.
Thread a heavy cord through the punched holes and tie them off.
Fill the sheets with your pictures.Advertisement
Method 3
Method 3 of 3:
Quilted
Obtain a paper or fabric covered three-ring binder.
Glue a layer of quilt batting to the outside of the binder. You may overlap the edges if you wish, but this is not necessary.
Cut a piece of fabric the size of the notebook cover plus two inches in each direction.
Open the notebook and lay it batting side down on the wrong side of your fabric.
Wrap the edges of your fabric over the edge of the notebook and hot glue them to the inside edge of the notebook.
Cut a heavy cardstock sheet the size of the inside cover of your notebook.
Cover the cardstock in fabric, wrapping the raw edges over the edge of the cardstock so that no raw edges show.
Glue the cardstock over the raw edges from the "outside" of the notebook to cover all raw edges and leave only a smooth, folded fabric edge on the inside of the notebook.
Fill the notebook with photo pages or scrapbook pages as desired.Advertisement
