                                                                     Welcome to Day 4 of our Hop. I'm am so excited to share this next project with you. I almost just couldn't wait. Have you ever wanted to do a project and you felt like you just couldn't get the hang of it ?? That's the way the "MINI ALBUMS" are for me. I've tried a few and just wasn't happy with what I was accomplishing. I  still have a long way to go on these but I feel like this one is better than the others I've Made.

 

 

This was made from 4 empty toilet paper rolls. They were flattened using my bone folder.I cut a template about 5inches long and about 9 inches wide. After I glued the paper to the tube, I mitered the corners. So when you fold it in the tube it will be smooth.

                                           and won't show the edges of the tube.                 

 

 

 

 

 

I used up alot of scrap paper on this project.

 

 

 

I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

 I used binding rings to hold it together. They are 1 inch rings.

 I chose to use 4 tubes. You could use more if you wanted a bigger book.

 These are also the perfect size for gift cards.

 Well here's my little Mini album...

 I hope you like it.
