Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album

To make this craft you will need the following:  Five toilet paper rolls, five sheets of paper (I used five different patterns), One solid colored piece of card stock, ribbon, ink pad, tacky glue, paper cutter, and embellishments. 

First flatten each toilet paper roll.  Cut patterned paper to the same size as one side of the flattened rolls. You will need two of each pattern. Ink edges of the patterned paper.









Next using tacky glue, adhere paper to flattened rolls.  They should be glued so that they end up side by side as pictured to the left.




Once you have glued all the patterned paper on the rolls, punch three holes in each of the rolls.  Now pick some ribbon, and thread them through the holes.  You will then tie the ribbon in a knot.  This is the binding for your mini album.


Cut five tags out of solid card stock.  Punch a hole in the end of each tag and loop some ribbon through it.  Embellish each tag as desired.  I stamped and embossed the ends of each of mine.  I also inked the edges.  Now insert the tags into each of the flattened toilet paper rolls.

You can also embellish the front of the mini album however you want.  I used paper flowers, brads, dicuts, and gemstones.
