looking for mini album inspiration for your next mini project? Check out these two random Mini Albums that have caught my attention in the past. I've added them to my list of projects i am yet to create! lol.
I have always wanted to use Nail Varnish on an arty project. Alexandra has made these clever tag mini books and embellished them with nail polish.
Pennants, especially pennant banners are hot, they're at birthday parties and wedding celebrations, and i seem them framed as wall art, and now you have a mini pennant notebook.
I found these little darlings at the cheap psychology blog. They'd make great little gifts or party favors at birthdays. Easy to make with or without the accucut die cutting machine that Doris used to create her pennant minis. After all they are simple triangles.
Now I know I tried making one of these a long time ago and I have probably already blogged about them here on SC but I had to post this tutorial to make a plastic bag mini book, or rather a mini book made from plastic bags (now i've confused myself) A great way to Upcycle.
So check out this youtube video tutorial.
In a nutshell you need 12 or more layers of plastic bag to make each page.
Iron the pages between some brown paper to make it all stick together and form a page. (you may want to experiment a little with this part - iron setting shouldn't be too hot)
Once you have your page you can paint them if you like then use them just like you would a chipboard page.
Pretty it up with pics and embellies, bind it and you're set.
Anyways, enjoy the vid.
found an old tutorial to make a journal to jot down all your ideas and sketches from used brown paper sacks. Unlike a paper bag album these bags are opened up, soaked and bound together with a coptic stitch. Definitely a great way to upcycle your paper grocery bags into a workable piece of art.
Gotta share this hot little tip from Scrapperlicious. It is a mini picture bracelet to hang off the binding of your mini albums. Perfect for all those pictures that just wont fit into your mini.
Yay! my 2nd mixed media minibook. lovin it. staring the one and only atiria...yet again. i gotta find some other subjects. I made this one from scribbling some random shapes on to some chipboard and hacking away at it with a pair of scissors.
Have discovered that any shape that you cut looks great once covered with patterned paper no matter how uneven or lopsided it is, which is totally a good thing in my case, i couldnt draw a straight line if my life depended on it.
I am on track to using up my millions of photos, not a bad effort so far.
Here is an old easter mini album by lisa pace from the scrapbooktrends mag from 2007. It is a cute little accordion fold mini book with some easter egg shaped tags. too cute. You will find a couple of templates that you can download for free for the grass and eggs just to make it that much easier for you to create, They dont have the tutorial online but it is just a simple 4x4 accordion fold album with a couple of chipboard covers - easy peasy. how good are Scrapbook Trends.
