Keyring mini album
Follow these simple instructions to make a keyring mini
album from chipboard, you could complete this scrapbook project in less than a
couple of hours (less than one if you're really keen) What better way to carry
your loved ones around with you every where you go than to carry them on your
keys.
Materials
- Three to five 3"x 4" pieces of chipboard
- Book ring or Keyring chain
- Adhesive - glue stick
- sand paper or distressing kit (basic grey make a great
distressing kit)
- Assorted Paper, photos and embellishments
- Mod Podge to seal - optional
- Eyelets
1. Firstly we will wallpaper each of our chipboard pages
with patterned paper.
To do this take the chipboard page and apply glue stick to the entire surface.
Attach the paper to the chipboard and ensure that the page is completely
covered. Trim off any excess paper and smooth off the rough edges with sandpaper or a
distressing file. Flip the page over and cover the reverse side of the
page in the same fashion.
2. Repeat for the remaining chipboard pages and covers.
3. Dress the covers and pages with photos, embellishments,
journaling and any other touches you wish to make.
4. When you are done punch a hole through the upper left
hand corner of each page. Set an eyelet into each of the punched holes for a
stronger mini album.
5. Thread each page onto a book ring or through a key ring
chain and tie on some coordinating ribbon and fibers to finish it off
Done. Now clip your fantastic keyring mini album on to
your keyring, purse, bag, mobile phone and you're set.
Hints and Tips
- Dont forget that chipboard is so great to work with we
can make any shaped mini albums we like eg, circle, square, car shaped, heart
shaped, pencil or whatever.
- Instead of wallpapering your every page with paper you
can try adhering a photo to cover the entire surface instead.
- Cover each page with mod-podge so your key ring can
take a little more wear and tear.
- Use a corner punch to round off the corners.
