Hey, hey guys, Tamiko here!! I have good news I can share with you, our Helmar readers, it's a BOY!!! (chuckles) My friend's decided to adopt a little dog ::still giggling:: The don't have any two legged children between them so I decided to gift them a small album to slip a few of those first at home moments in. Check it out below.
Supplies needed:
Helmar's Craft & Hobby PVA Glue
Patterned paper
Scissors
Paper trimmer
Eyelet
Hole puncher
Brad
Twine
I initially saw this design on either YouTube or Pinterest, not sure which. I just know I thought it was darling and I'd eventually get a chance to make one myself. I went and found the perfect dog themed paper. I took 3 different pieces of paper and cut them down at 2×4, 3×6 and a 5×12. I folded each sheet in half to create lil miniature layout backgrounds, so all you have to do add a picture or ephemera with washi, staples or Helmar Glue. With the 5×12 piece I made inside pockets to hold loose items, as you collect them, to document the occasion.
I connected the sheets at the fold with a hinge I made from yet another patterned paper. Just take a scrap even 1 inch wide and the length of the page's edge you connecting. I cut to corners I attach those hinges with Helmar Craft and Hobby PVA Glue.
I then continue to embellish the papers with stickers and die-cuts, both of which I reinforced with more Helmars Craft & Hobby PVA Glue!
On the larger folded page I added a hole and an eyelet. I then pulled twine through the hole to create a wrap closure. I also placed a hole, then a puffy heart and brad through the hole. I hid the clasp under a layered embellishment that was adhered also with Craft & Hobby PVA Glue.
Such a fun project I think! Get your adhesives at Helmar Worldwide and create beautiful things for the folks you love with awesome quality products!
