First of all, let's prepare the necessary materials for the handmade album cover. Daiso has a wide variety of craft supplies, so you can have everything you need at an affordable price. Please prepare the following materials:

  • Kraft paper and colored paper
  • Decorative ribbons and lace
  • Stickers and stickers for decoration
  • Glue or double-sided tape
  • Scissors
  • Corner sticker for photo
  • Design pens and markers

Think about the cover design

Next, think about what kind of design you want. Choose the decoration according to the season and theme to make the album cover even better. For example, use colorful balloons or cake stickers for your birthday album, or incorporate a map or airplane motif for your travel album.

Steps to create a cover

Let's get into the actual production. Let's proceed with the following steps:

  1. [Basic work] Cut kraft paper or colored paper to fit the size of the album cover. Stick the cut paper firmly on the album cover.
  2. [Decoration work] Use ribbons and lace to make edging. This makes the design of the cover stand out.
  3. [Personalization] Decorate with your favorite stickers and stickers. If you put a corner sticker around the photo, it will be more fashionable.
  4. [Name and Title] Use a design pen or marker to write the album title and name on the cover. Handwritten letters enhance the handmade feeling.

A special album with the finished cover

Once your handmade album cover is complete, let s paste the photos in order. By composing pages for each theme, you will have an album that is easy to see and organized. If you add handwritten notes and diaries, you will revive the emotions and events of that moment when you look back at the photos.
