Mint Tin Albums make great gifts! Its a cute little album in a solid case to protect it! Best part they are EASY!!!
How to make a mint tin album…
- Eat a tin of altoids… mmm… minty fresh breath!
- Add your pictures to the QP and flatten the images
- Open a new document at 300dpi and canvas sized to the paper you will be printing on
- Arrange your flattened quick pages into this canvas (you may need more that one)
- Print then out on photo paper or cardstock
- At this point there are many ways you can bind your finished project
- OPTION 1: Cut the photos out and bind them with some ribbon (link to Ramona’s mint tin)
- OPTION 2: Cut out the photos and glue them to a coordinated cardstock cut slightly larger, but small enough to fit in the tin (link to Leslie’s mint tin)
- OPTION 3: Cut a piece of cardstock approximately 10 inches long and 3 ¼ inches wide and make an adhere 5 pages to each side of the cardstock to make a mini accordion album (sorry no picture of this one yet).
- Attach the covers and lid insert to the tin! Voila a quick and pretty Hybrid album!!
