Altered Photo Album

Good Morning All

I saw this Simpsons photo album in the local charity shop and thought it was just begging to be altered.

This is a pic of the items I bought that day for about 3 euros.

I will show you the rest when I have done them.

I used the cloth with the pink flower on for this project too.

I gave it a quick coat of chalk paint just to hide some of the print because I was not sure how much of it would show through the fabric.

Inside the front and back covers.

I added a piece of pink felt to cover the fabric turn ins from the front.  

The lace is part of a tray cloth.

Edged with pleated lace around the edges and tiny crochet doily in the corners with a pearl centre.

This is the cloth in the first pic that I used on the spine of the book.

I covered the book with wadding and fabric from a duvet cover, then topped with a piece of lace  tablecloth.

This is the back.

Crochet doily and a lace flower in centre.

All edged with pink and white gathered lace trim.

A beautiful satin flower made in the same way as my 

Twisted Flower Tutorial at top of my blog.

Another handmade flower with lace centre

Two stick pins added.

And finally, the front.

Lots of bits used on this. The dark pink bits are from a scarf. 

 I added glass beads to the cut offs from the seam.

Some lace under the edge of the picture are scraps from the tablecloth

I am super pleased with this.

And hope you all like it.

But, most importantly, I thoroughly enjoyed doing it.
Now I just have to sell it!!!!
Just 25 euro to cover P&P from here in Spain, as I think it will be over 500gms
