I am forever bringing ugly, overfilled bins of disorganized photos with me to crops. The result is that I get little done and I can never find that “perfect photo” I know is hiding in the box. I created this little photo keeper from envelopes and scrap chipboard to help me organize my photos before I go to the crop and to limit what I am bringing (because I am one that likes to bring everything AND the kitchen sink!).
I covered two 5” x 7” pieces of chipboard with patterned paper. Then I cut a 1”x5” piece of chipboard and a 3”x5” piece of chipboard and covered them both with patterned paper. I traced a plate onto the 3” x5 piece to get the curved edge and trimmed off the excess. Using gaffer’s tape, I attached the strips of chipboard to one of the 5x7 pieces with a little space between the pieces to allow them to bend at the seam.
I bound the two covers and several 5”x7 “envelopes together using the Bind It All and ¾” black O-Wires. To close the flap, I attached a piece of Velcro to the cover and to the flap. Now I have a cute way to keep my photos organized at crops and I’ll be sure to always find the photos I need. The Velcro closure ensures that my photos won’ t fall out of the envelopes while traveling in my bag.
