Graphic 45 Step-by-Step Tutorial: Handmade 8.5" x 8.5" x 4" Mini Album
Mini albums are a fun and creative way to preserve your memories! These interactive, decorative albums are perfect for holding photos, notes, and little treasures.
This easy-to-follow tutorial is designed for crafters of all levels—whether you're a beginner or have years of experience. For the demonstration, I used Graphic 45’s The Beach Is Calling collection, but feel free to use any patterned papers you love! This design is a perfect fit for any Graphic 45 collection, so you can choose the one that inspires you most.
Included with this tutorial is an 82-page downloadable PDF packed with:
