Paint an accordion papier-m ch folded book (album) with Plus Color craft paint. Cover it with Vivi Gade Design Paper (London). Mount the pictures onto white and turquoise card and attach onto the accordion (album) pages. Decorate with cut-out birds.
As easy as can be. There is a lot of detailing in the patterns of these sheets of design paper and the very simple decoration (i.e. cut-out birds and the large calm pictures) therefore suits the overall look. A really fun project where older children can also join in. A Fiskars high precision paper trimmer would be a very good tool for this project as it cuts the measurements accurately.
Paint all the edges and the accordion creases with white Plus Color Craft Paint.
Whilst the album dries, decorate the lid and the base of the gift box with paper, cake napkins and red/white checked ribbon.
Cut a piece of paper to cover the sides. Cut the pieces 1/2cm smaller than the measurements of the album.
For this album cut the pictures so they measure 10 x 10cm and mount them onto white card measuring 10.3 x 10.3cm. Mount this onto a piece of turquoise card measuring 11 x 11cm.
Put the picture in the album and decorate with cut-out motifs.
