If you can't find the perfect album, create it. We took a plain album with removable pages, covered it with cloth, and added a decorative label and custom pages. Decorate cover: Use double-sided adhesive sheets (photo adhesive paper) to cover album with book cloth. Download cover design; print. Cut out with a utility knife. Glue to album with an archival glue stick; let dry. Make pages: Remove original pages. Using originals as a guide, cut black card stock to size. Punch holes through new pages; insert into album. (Reserve originals for another use.) Use photo corners and charm frames to mount photos. Label pages with a white gel pen; decorate with rub-on borders.
Generations Album
Martha Stewart Living, January 2006
Does anyone know what font was used for this generation album cover? I would like to use it on other projects.
Does the archival glue work on material ( muslin ) for example?
I made my own too and gave them out as gifts, wedding, baby and just friends I used a pretty fabric and added lace around the album.It turned out very nice.Sometimes I added a frame and put the same material on that and glued it to the front of the album then added a picture of the person I was giving the album too. I also put some lace on that too. I enjoyed doing these projects.
I used muslim and with iron-on transfer, I ironed on an early black and white photo of the person to whom I was giving the album. It came out beautiful
