Wooden Album Cover Tutorial #2

 

This tutorial is all about using photos and buttons to adorn the cover of your wooden mini album.  Here's what you might need:

- Wooden Mini Album Cover
- White Spray Paint
- One small photo
- Various sizes of buttons
- Strong liquid glue
- Rub on letters (optional)

Step One:

Spray a fair amount of white paint in a circle, keeping the nozzel of the bottle close to your cover, to prevent overspray.



Step Two:

Pick up the cover and move tilt it around, causing the paint to run in various patterns.  The runs needn't be precise, as for the most part they will be covered in buttons.

Step Three:

Adhere your photo to the center of the paint, and surround it with the largest of the buttons you have chosen for the cover.



Step Four:

Fill in the gaps with smaller buttons.  Once everything has dried, you may chose to rub on the letters for your title, over top of the cover photo.  In the end, I decided it would be too busy for this particular photo, but it might work well with a photo you might chose to use.

On Friday I will post the last of the wooden album cover tutorials.  I hope these ideas have been helpful to you so far!

I just stumbled across your blog for the first time today and I have to say it's one of the most gorgeous I've ever seen. Did you design it yourself? What program did you use? I have a typepad account, but I'm not very computer savvy. Anyway, your work is beautiful!

I'm working to operate my very own website yet I believe its as well standard and I would like to concentrate much more on smaller tips. Becoming all items to all most people is not really all that its crumbled as much as be.
