How to Make a Vacation Album

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today using Proxxon tools to create a customized vacation album.


You can purchase all kinds of albums, but why not create your own?  With assorted Proxxon Tools you can create any type of album you want.


I found this pallet sign.  It's basically layers of compressed chipboard with a layer of melamine on top and I wanted to see how the Band Saw would cut this sign.  Begin by using the Kapro 313 Measure Mate to size out the album.


The Band Saw easily cut through the pallet sign.  There was no shredding or distortion.

.
While I didn't need to, I used the Disc Sander to sand the edges of the album.


Use the Bench Drill Press to drill 2 holes in the album.


Paint the covers with FolkArt Acrylic Paint in Blue Echo.  Randomly dry brush on FolkArt Acrylic Paint in Windsor Blue.



Cut assorted pattern papers to fit.

Decorate the front cover with assorted left over elements.  Add Alaska 2019 to the corner.

Thanks for stopping by.
