ID Tag Photo Albums

These are very easy to make. You can make the cover with any type of heavy cardboard - I even use cereal boxes! The are the perfect size for all those wallet size photos we get.

Supplies: ID Tags - Usually 12 in a package at discount or office supply stores.
              Binding Rings ( 2)
              Cardboard
              Decorative Paper
              Adhesive
              Hole Puncher
              Embelishments

Directions:
1. Cut 2 pieces of cardboard for your book covers - make them just a bit bigger then tags.
2. Use the tags as a guide to line up the hole for your binding rings. Punch 2 holes in each piece, for front and back cover.
3. Pick out the paper you want for front and back. Scraps work great. I used glue stick to cover one side of cardboard and placed it in the middle of the back side of paper. I folded the sides over and used adhesive to keep them in place. Punch holes through the decorative paper. Add another piece of paper to the otherside of the cover to give it a nice finished look.
4. Now you can decorate the front and back with any embelishments you like.
5. You can now put your book together. Stack back cover with number of tag ID Pages you want ( you can always add more). Place cover on top and add your binding rings to the holes.
6. You can decorate the rings with ribbon or beads.

**** Next time you print photos from an event, get them printed in wallet size and make a book to remember the event.  Makes a great gift after a special party.
