Happy August everyone! Can you believe it?
This is a cute little vintage photo album (approximately 3" x 4") that I saw on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6Vrs5GWL4o&t=1006s.
The cover is a printable from the artist (Artymaze).
I loved the binding on this little book. It is very simple and just requires some strips of muslin (mine were tea-dyed and torn). This would work for any size book and you would just add more strips depending on the size of book and number of pages. I think it requires an even number of pages.
I used four pages inside and a total of 8 muslin strips. Here are the steps to gluing the strips to the pages. I started with strips approximately 1" wide by 2" long but once they were glued, I cut them shorter.
Step 1: front cover with two muslin strips glued on
Step 2: turn over front cover and glue one strip to center of first page
Step 3: turn page over and glue two muslin strips from front cover to back of first page
Step 4: glue two strips to second page
Step 5: turn second page over and glue the center strip from page one to the back
Step 6: glue one strip to center of third page
Step 7: turn third page over and glue two strips from previous page to the back
Step 8: turn page over and glue two strips to next (fourth) page
Step 9: turn page over and glue center strip from previous page to back of fourth page
Step 10: turn back cover over and glue two strips from previous page to back
I love this little album. It really looks like an old vintage one!
