This bright and fun mini accordion album is the perfect place to showcase some favorite spring photos- or even to make a mini brag book.
We added a fun folded pinwheel and some ribbon and trim to really showcase all of the bright spring colors. The video shows you how to fold the book and how to make the pinwheel.
I am always looking for cool ways to display photos. I like things are not traditional frames, that I can use to show off favorite snapshots, and that I can change out with different photos.
This is a 3 panel hanging photo display. The top and bottom panels are mini clipboards (6x9), and the middle panel is a chipboard piece. The mini clipboards are from Staples, and cost just 1.50 each, making this a really affordable gift. In the videos below I show you step by step how to create the photo display and also how to make the dimensional roses that I used on the display to cover up the logo on the mini clipboard. If you don't want to use roses, you can look for some other cool embellishment that coordinate with your paper.
You could also make this much fancier if you want to add buttons, rhinestones, more ribbon, etc. Or you could make it more rustic and simple by changing your materials. I am going to make another display for my husband for Valentines day and use a piece of denim on top of the chipboard panel (with just a simple rounded corner) to display some of his fishing pictures. The possibilities are really endless.
I hope you enjoy the project this week, and as always send me feedback if you have ideas for something you would like to do in the weeks ahead. There are two videos to watch below, the first is the project instructions, the second is the flower instructions.
Our project this week is all about Valentines Day! It is a book of library pockets with a tag in each pocket. On the tag is a "Love Coupon" to give your favorite Valentine the gift of an activity together. The Love Coupons are a printable piece so you can print them on whatever color of paper or cardstock that you like.
In your directions you will also get a pattern to make your own library pockets, they are very simple, you cut them out score and fold into a pocket shape.
