Hello, everyone! When I first started crafting I would buy blank albums and fill them with pretty patterned paper. Not long after, I started needing different size albums and different color pages, so I had to learn to make my own. There are many methods to creating an album, but this method is what I use most frequently. The method can be adjusted for any size album!
Today I will be constructing a DIY hard cover album from scratch - the cover, the binding, the hinge system, and the pages. Our album cover will measure 5.5” x 6.5” with our pages measuring 5” x 6”.
Supplies:
The best way to learn how to make one of these albums is visually, so please join us in this video tutorial. Please reference the cutting guide below the video to help you cut and score your card stock.
Our album will have a 2” binding with three (3) page sets. Each page set has 6 pages, for a total of 18 pages.
