And here's the steps I took to create this album-
1. ink the edges of the chipboard
2. brush Mod Podge on the surface you wish to cover and apply printed paper
3. smooth out all the air pockets or wrinkles and set it aside to dry
4. trim the excess paper off with a pair of scissors or razor knife
5. use the handy nail file for removing the excess the scissors can't reach... a course file works best when working with chipboard
6. use a crop-a-dile to punch holes and add eyelets in the corner of the album
7. stack them up and add a jump ring to hold them together
8. ink edges of paper
At this point is looked like this-
And last- embellish your album!
These albums/mini books are fun to make and leave out on the coffee table and such. My kids and our guests love flipping through them. I hope this tutorial inspires you to give it a try.
