Tiny Photo Album

by Maritha22

In this instructable I'll show you how to make a tiny photo album for your vacation photos. It is very simple but
sooo cool because you can take it anywhere with you.

Supplies:

cardboard
paper
one tiny rubber band
wire (I used 0.7 mm)
photos / printer

nail scissors
pencil and eraser
set-square
glue (liquid paper glue & glue stick)
needle nose pliers

Step 1: Photos

I bought normal-sized copys of my vacation photos and they came with a miniature overview (1,3 cm length per
photo), but you can also just print out the photos very small by yourself.

Step 2: Book Cover

First, draw the outlines on the cardboard and cut
them out. You can see the measurements on the
second picture. Then fold the spine. To do that, cut a
sled in the outside(not all the way through!).
Subsequently paint it red and black [or any other
color you want :) ]. After the paint has dried, bend the
wire like in the picture. I put holes in the cardboard
rst. The one straight piece isn't absolutely necessary
but without it the edge gets a little bit damaged.

Step 3: Arrange the Photos

The album will have nine pages so you need 108 photos. Draw squares on a piece of paper and put numbers (6 per
page) on them. Now arrange the pictures like you want, but don't forget to put numbers on them too, so if you
disorder them by mistake you don't have to start again.

Step 4: Bookpages

Cut out nine pieces of normal paper with a width of
3,2 and a length of 3,3 cm. I know that the numbers
are a bit weird but I made this project with a normal
sized album as a model and adapted the scale to the
photos. Glue the pictures with a glue stick on both
sides of the paper. Leave a little more space on the
side that faces inside. When all pages are done stack
them, take another piece of paper and glue it with
liquid glue on the edge (picture). Trim o the excess.
Glue the book you just created in the cover (also with
liquid glue).

Step 5: Finishing

Choose one cover picture and place it on the front of the album. Print out the year and where you spent your
vacation. Now the tiny photo album is nished!
