Mini Album (holiday)

I wanted to make something for Christmas to give away, and decided on some mini albums
this one is made of 4 toilet paper cardboard rolls (I have stacks of these saved up) ha, and some coordinating pattern paper...
Loads of fun to make since it goes so quick

I am entering this in a couple challenges:

Really Reasonable Ribbon

Friday Mashup! use something recycled

Let's see if I can share some easy instructions:

You will need a few pieces of coordinating paper

and ribbon, and 4 toilet paper rolls

I use a heavy book to smash them flat

after they are flat, I cover them with paper

ex: see they are flattened :)

Once you have all 4 covered with your paper of choice, you need to punch two holes in the end

(I also put in eyelets but you don't have too--I am showing one with and w/o)

OR, you can use your zutter, and connect them like the 2nd ex.

(also, I love to ink all the edges, but I am into OVER-doing)

So then you just put them all together, and attach little loose leaf rings to the (punched holes)

I add a bunch of ribbon as well....

As for the band on the front, that is a "belly band" I just made it to hold it all together nicely...

*on another note, on my album I added little page fling flips (very ingenious name I gave it right?) ha

I'm so into technical talk ha....

Anyhow, I just made a piece of paper with the heighth and depth dimensions and cut it short, and scored a line at the end, and placed it in my t/p roll, to add another "page"

maybe my pic will show you better...what I am rattling on about....

 OK have fun making one!! :)
