Album for a girl for the first year of life

Every mother dreams that her daughter will have the best from the first year, therefore, when she is just born, she tries to make sure that she has the most beautiful vests, the most beautiful diapers, the brightest rattles and everything to make it better than everyone has. Of course, there is just a huge selection and shopping, but nothing will be more beautiful and unusual than what a mother will make for her daughter with her own hands. Now we are not even talking about clothes and toys, but, for example, the first album of their child will be quite important and memorable for every family. So, in order for her daughter to have the best, most beautiful and unusual album, her mother needs to try. Buying the same album is not a problem, but the big problem is that it is very difficult to match the interior design of the album. Every mother wants to be able to not only paste photographs into an album, but also to keep notes on exactly how her little daughter grew and developed, how much weight she gained, how much she grew, what she learned to do, etc. And for this you already need special pages for the album.You can make them yourself if you know Photoshop. You can also purchase such interesting pages in electronic form on the Internet. So we will consider one of these master classes on making an album for the first year of life.

To make a notepad we take:
• Two binding cardboard A4 format;
• Printed sheets A4 format with different pages;
• Fabric with stars on a red and yellow background, thick cotton of good quality;
• Sintepon;
• Adhesive tape effect and double-sided tape;
• Picture with Mi the bunny;
• Card with the inscription “Our little princess” (in Ukrainian);
• Pink and beige cut-out napkins, flags, pink butterflies;
• Scrappaper size 30*30 cm, three sheets: two in pink and one in yellow;
• Beige wide lace;
• Curb hole punch;
• Eyelets are red;
• Grommet installer;
• Scissors, ruler, simple pencil;
• Peach-colored satin ribbon, 25 mm wide;
• Glue stick;
• Beige ribbon with fabric roses;
• Metal brads, plain and epoxy, in a yellow frame;
• Ink pad.



We start by making a soft cover for the album. To do this, take binding sheets of cardboard, glue strips of double-sided tape and glue sheets of padding polyester.


Now we need to wrap both blanks with cloth. To do this, cut two pieces of red fabric with stars and two pieces of yellow fabric.


The fabric should be ironed well under steam. We will sew a strip of lace to the places where the fabrics are sewn together. Now that we're done with the fabric, let's prepare the album sheets.


We cut the sheets, they should be slightly smaller than the cover. We get a size of 20*29 cm. We take two sheets.


We glue strips of double-sided tape to the back of one, put another sheet on top and glue it.We immediately fold the sheets and glue them one by one in the sequence in which it is needed. Now we sew all the sheets together in pairs as they were glued together.


We sew the fabric and sew wide lace onto the seams. Now we put the fabric, the workpiece on it and smear the corners.


Fold the corners and glue them.


Now spread it on top and bottom, and then on the sides. We carefully wrap everything, stretch it slightly and glue it.


We glue strips of tape from the inside in the center of both blanks. This will be the bow with which we will tie the album.


We cut yellow paper measuring 14*20 cm, take two napkins, a picture and a card. We tint the card and picture with a pad.


We sew the edges of both blanks along the edge, sew on the paper, then glue the napkins and sew on the picture with the card. Now we insert flowers with brads.


Now the inside sides of the covers need to be covered with scrap paper.


We cut two rectangles 20.5*29 cm. Glue a pocket onto one piece and sew it on. Now we glue both rectangles with glue from the inside of both covers.


Now we put three marks.


With the help of the installer, we make three holes and install eyelets with them.


Now we attach this cover to another, also put marks in the same places and also put eyelets.


Now we need to guess with the holes and on the sheets. We take one sheet, place the cover on it and mark it, then make holes on the sheet. And using this sheet we make marks on the rest and the corresponding holes.


Now you need to string everything onto the rings. We put the rings on the bottom of the cover, then put on the sheets one by one.


We put the cover on top and fasten the rings.


Now we tie the album with a bow and decorate it.


We ended up with such a juicy and bright album for a girl’s first year of life.Thank you for your attention and good luck!
