Mom on the anniversary asked to print several photos of different times. I was so fascinated by the scanning of films from the family archive, which I understood - the photoschool photos will not cost, you need to make an album.
The first task you will encounter when creating an album where to get the foundation. You can make a cardboard yourself, you can buy modern albums with cardboard sheets. I managed to find the album of the 60s in private ads. Brand new, not used, I liked the format and color of these old pages and cripples, nothing specially needed.
First of all, it is necessary to change the cover, it was the most difficult, did it all for the first time, so without errors it did not cost.
It is necessary to disassemble the album for spare parts. Inside the old cover were cardboard parts. All of them need to be glued, as was originally, the new material for the cover, by observing all the sizes and distances, as it was. Adhesive on PVA, clamping each glued part with the press until complete drying. As a press used "pancakes" from dumbbells of her husband.
For the cover, any material is sufficiently dense - leather, tapestry, furniture fabric, etc.
What noted, the tapestry material took too loose, I think it would be better to better.
From the inside, you need to stick the suitable sheet from the cardboard on top of the edges of the glued fabric. Better to take the cardboard thoroughly, to smaller, so that less is visible under it the relief from the cover material. Cardboard glued on superclauses.
Cut at once 2 identical sheets of cardboard, the second sheet is needed for the back internal page.
On the reverse side, you can stick the ribbons for the tie of the album. It is necessary to cut the tapes, to check the length to make it turning a beautiful bow on the front part. The edges of the tapes can be buried so as not to bloom. Ribel tapes on superclauses. Because Ribbons in my case are different, the place of gluing on top to close the tissue with a segment. The fabric was glued to superlocks.
On the corners of the cover you need to wear special metal corners so that the angles carefully looked.
On the buttons of the album - the Kremlin! So it pleased me.
To fill the cloth covers under the buttons (they turned out to be fixed), you need to make a straight incision on the tissue less than the diameter than the button and neat the end of the scissors or knife to fill the button under the button.
Further everything is easier: armed with paper, photographs, tool and run into creative chaos, fill out the pages of the finished album.
Photo I had in chronological order and picked up the poems of different Soviet authors, according to the topic of photos.
It turned out somewhere 35 pages. Filled all album pages.
All the details of the glue on the 2nd third-party tape.
Used paper for scrapbooking (cut the size of the album pages), ordinary color cardboard, pastel paper, own manufacture paper with flowers, paper cutting and stickers, paper corners for the photo.
The more tools, the more diverse you will have a decor.
Ready curly cuttings can be painted with watercolor.
You can print poetry on the usual printer on colored paper. Only the font is done under handwritten.
The edges of photographs cut the curly scissors, as our grandmothers did in their time.
Decorative corners on all pages from the carting made using a special tool for curly cutting. Sold in stores for creativity with different patterns.
Paper corners for photos are sold mainly in black and white gamme. They can be painted acrylic. Here painted in green originally black corners.
Some white paper sheets with verses and decorative elements can be painted with coffee maker.
Cook coffee, and then use the brush to apply on paper as watercolor. If the element is small, you can directly dip in the cup with coffee. After drying, you can try the paper to stroke the iron to become smooth.
The printed text can be covered with a thin liner so that it looks like a handwritten text. You can write yourself if the handwriting allows you to.
Prints copies of pages from the journal "Pioneer" of the 1959-60s, messed up in coffee. To create an atmosphere of those years.
In general, there are no tricks here: make up the composition, cut off unnecessary, cut out the desired, painted, glue, draw, webs.
My experiments were useful with handmade paper with herbarium. Some of the next time I will tell you how I made paper with leaves, flowers. You can buy similar items. By the way, Herbarium, in my opinion, undeservedly forgotten theme. Dried elements of plants can be decorate any album or postcard.
Easily use ready-made cuts from colored paper or white paper, painting them at their discretion with watercolor or coffee.
Thin elements can be glued to the Clay Pencil of the Stationery.
On the pins fastened the signs "with love, happy birthday."
Pins painted bright acrylic paint.
The most important thing: if you make such a gift grandfather, grandmother, anyone aged, be sure that your gift will not leave indifferent, it will break to tears and causes the lot of delights!
