gifts for paper lovers - ep.5: learning to make a photo album

hi everyone,
in this video, i'm learning to make a photo album using a new way of binding, recycling an old dress to make the covers and decorating it with book-corners.
i'm using an old linen dress, A3 chip-boards cut to sizes as the base for the covers and some very basic tools: scissors, ruler, bone folder.
thank you so much for spending the time and i hope you enjoy this video and will return to watch the upcoming projects in this series.
xo,
