Bean has loved looking at family photos lately. I wanted a simple and cheap way to organize them so that he could look at them without destroying them. You can order blank board books, but I didn't want to pay for shipping.
Instead, I decided to recycle one that he already has. The board book that I used was originally $1.00. You can find them in the dollar section at Jo-Ann Fabrics. Seriously cheap. You will also need a glue stick and some photos.
Materials Needed:
1 board book
Photos
Glue Stick
Step 1: Apply glue to the back of a photo
Step 2: Glue it in place.
Step 3: Repeat for all of the pages, including the front and back of the cover.
The original pages make a nifty frame around the photos!
Success! He Loves it!
PS: His Great Grandmother made the froggie quilt that he is sitting on.
PSS: A special "Thank You!" to Dev for a little photo editing help. A combination of our blue walls and the blue sky made one of the photos a little too blue.
