This is the second DIY photo book that I'm making. I always like to add caption/story and other decorating stuff into my photo album. Hence, before I learned to make a book I usually go for self-adhesive photo album which is more flexible in usage. It's even more exciting now that I can make my own! I can create my own photo album cover and decorate the album the way I like.
I used two different designs of fabric for the front & back cover of the album. The front cover is using the fabric from Ikea (Tidny design). A black & white checked fabric is used for the back cover. As for the paper, acid free paper is used to better preserve the photos.
To add character to the piece, I coloured the letter box red using Pentel fabric pastel. I love the effect of the red letter box against the black contour lines. :)
Here it is, my DIY photo album.
