This week is Challenge #3. The theme is:
"Spring has Sprung in our Homes" - Create a Home Decor project with a spring theme.
For my project I made a CD Mini Album/Birthday Gift. What a Fun Project.
I was you-tube watching and came across this video on how to make these mini albums.
We all know there are CD cases laying around the house. I thought I could make this album and have it double as a birthday gift for my mother-in-law as well.
So here is how it is done
You need double sided paper for the front and back covers. The dimensions for those are:
4 7/8 x 4 3/4 for the front cover
6 x 4 5/8 for the back cover scored at 1/4" on both short sides
2 pieces of matching paper for the inside measuring 4 x 12 and scored at 4 and 8. These will then be folded accordion style and attached to one another to make one long accordion piece.
1 piece of cardstock for the inside mat measuring 4 1/4 x 4 1/4. This will be attached to the inside back cover where you will then place the accordion pages.
Once everything is attached you can decorate any way you want.
I made a circle tab with the coordinating paper as the pull. I also added mats on every page.
The gift card holder measures
3 x 3 5/8 scored 1/2" on the bottom--this is the back
2 x 4 3/4 scored 1/2" on each side- front. I used my circle punch to make the opening tab as well.
I hope you like my project and think about giving it a try! It was super easy...lots of fun and would make a GREAT gift. I know my mother in law loved it :)
Just think about how cute this would look on a coffee table...made to match the recipients decor.
