I’m sure that I’m the last to find out about this great idea…reusing tissue paper rolls for mini albums! I saw LiveLoveScrap’s video on Youtube and then a few more videos of the same idea and was totally inspired to make my own. I have collected a huge stash of tissue paper rolls, knowing one day there’ll be a good reason why…EUREKA! So first I decide to wrap a sheet of paper around the tubes and I happen to have paper already in the size that fit two tubes together. I thought it would make nice spreads of pages…

So I made a bunch, but the only thing I don’t like are the edges where you can still see the raw color of the tubes. I think I have to find some ribbon to trim it off…now I am trying to think how I would bind these, given that I have them doubled up rather than single paged. Hmm…

Since I haven’t decided what to do yet, I decided to paint a bunch more for more albums, because that seems like an easy way to cover up the raw color. I can move forward with adding paper once they are dry…

I will share the results soon…let me know if you’ve done this before! Would love to see examples for more inspiration. Actually, I just realized I can work on the tag parts now, so I’m off…
