Four Ways to Make a Mini Album That Looks Like a Camera

I stumbled across these mini albums in the shape of cameras and had to share! So unique and a perfect way to present a mini-album as a gift (say for example Mother’s Day).

The DIY version above was made by Angela from the Maya Road team. So cute! In the video below she shows step by step how it is made. These pop out scrapbook albums are so much fun t make and receive.

Sandy Trefger was inspired by a camera box she saw on Pinterest, and came up with her own version. She plans to add mini-albums to the box. See more below.

Mini albums are great little projects for using up scraps, trying out new products and experimenting with techniques and designs.

This one by Merdrey on flickr is so sweet for Valentine’s Day or any occasion showing your love.

This version from Life Dreams Create holds the photos in a filmstrip at the back. The post is in Italian, but use Google translate, or just be inspired by the project!

Finally, a free cut file for Silhouette machines so that you can make your own! You can use this base and adapt it to make some of the examples shown above. Compliments Kim Watson. Thanks Kim!

Do you think you would make one of these?

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more.

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.
