Create your covers with a decorative heavy paper. The cover sheets should be made of heavier paper like cardstock and should have distinguishing details like patterned paper. Create the album pages with solid sheets of paper that are one color. Sheets should have measurements of 12x12.
Measure and cut the heavy cover pages into two 4x6 cut pieces.
Use your creativity to add designs. Use a glitter marker or a gold permanent marker and fill the cover with different drawings or words that have to do with who you’re creating the album for. Add stickers to the front and back if you desire to or even additional photos. As an added personal touch, glue a metal label holder to the front cover to write a name or date.
Thread ribbon into each of the holes and bring the ends together in the front of the album. Tie a bow out of the ribbon.
Write on the front of the book with a colorful marker to use cursive penmanship as a way to name it. Place another photo on the front cover to give a hint of what the album will be about and the kinds of photos it holds.
The wallet sized photos will be placed portrait style on the cards. Stick the photo to the right sides of your blank index cards.
