How Do You Make A Hand Covered Photo Album?
Most people have photographs lying around waiting to be mounted. Here is a simple method of converting an inexpensive, purchased photograph album into a distinctive and useful gift. • Evenly coat the inside of the front cover of the album, including the edges and the spine, with a thin layer of white glue. • Lay the piece of batting flat and position the glued front cover of the album on it, with the edges just inside the edges of the batting. • Repeat step 1 for the outside back cover of the album. • Bring the batting over the spine, keeping it taut and smooth, and press it down over the glued back cover. Trim the batting (if necessary) so that it will just wrap around the edges of the cover. Clip the corners so that they will not be bulky, and press the batting down onto the glued edges. Allow the glue to dry. • Cut the ribbon in half. With right sides facing, lay one piece of ribbon over the fabric with the end centered on one short edge of the fabric. Stitch a 1/4 inch and 1 1/4 in
