Instructions
Step 1
One of the most suitable ways to decorate any photo album is application. Choose a storyline for her in accordance with the theme of the album. For example, to decorate a collection of children's photographs, colored and glittering paper is suitable, as well as glittering jewelry - beads, rhinestones or sequins. Create a composition suitable for the child's age. For the little ones, you can make an applique with animals and cartoon characters. Older children, especially boys, will like paper models of cars, boats or airplanes. An album for a girl looks good with paper decorations in the form of beautifully dressed dolls or flowers.
Step 2
The cover of the photo album, intended for photographs of both children and adults, can be wrapped in velvet or staple. Choose a color based on the preferences of the child or other family members. In the center of the cover, place the best, in your opinion, photo of a child, newlyweds or other people important to you. The edges of the album can be carefully pasted over with gilded tape or other original decorations. Decorations made of threads or yarn will also be appropriate.
Step 3
A wedding photo album provides many suitable design options. The main place in the composition can be occupied by an applique made of the newlyweds' favorite flowers. Fans of everything bright can make a cover from contrasting shades - red and green, black and white, etc. Those who prefer the classics should choose calmer tones. Decorate the center cover area with two wedding rings made of gilded paper or your best wedding photo together. Creative people can also use various wedding accessories for applique: flower petals from the bridal bouquet, bows and ribbons from the cortege decoration, etc.
