1st TP Mini Album




This is my very first attempt at a toilet paper roll mini album... I think it turned out pretty good for a first time! I would have liked to done more pages but I only had 2 empty toilet paper rolls lol. If you don't know how to make one it's pretty simple. Basically you just get a toilet paper roll flatten it (I would have used my cuttlebug but I have NO idea where the plates are lol).. I used a bone folder.. I've seen online ppl use books and such to flatten them. Pick out paper, cover the roll and tuck into the inside so you can see any of the roll. Make tags to fit inside.. (mine are a little less than 4in x 2in approx.) and add embellishments. Punch holes (or in my case 1 hole, I could only find 1 binder ring) into one end of the toilet paper roll pages and close with binder ring.. add ribbon to the binder ring for looks. Pretty simple! I've seen other people use a bind it all or something similar to bind their toilet paper albums.. If I had a binding maching (I wish!) I probably would have done so also.



My entire album has embellishments from Pack Your Bags cart (1 is from Life's A Beach the whale on the front cover, and the ice cream is from Nifty Fifties). All of the stamped sentiments in the mini are from K Andrews Splashtastic Summer stamp set (you can purchase from her site HERE!), which I LOVE!



I am entering this mini into the following challenges:



Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!
