The materials for the calls for an 8 1/2 x 11 photo album. I have looked and searched and found the whole genre wanting in the extreme. So I decided to make my own album.
Originally I took an old literature binder from work. Standard 3 ring binder. But the covers were longer so I had hoped it would cover the addition width of the pages (protectors) for the class. My goal was to uncover the cover boards and recover them with some of the Close To My Heart papers I had planned on using during the class.
No dice! They were just too small. So I measured them out made them appropriately bigger and cut them and the spine from some nice Davey Board. I went to Hobby Lobby and chose two fabrics for the covers and the spine. Turned them both into book cloth. Made some book paste. And pasted the fabrics to the outsides of the covers and spine!
Next I will mount the ring binder to the album, add inside cover papers, Cover the spine with a nice facing of the same color. Maybe do some corner cocers in the spine color we'll see what I have left!
Here is a link to my flickr gallery for the project!
