In order not to break and once again not to claw their equipment in stores acquired special accessories in the form of protective films, trinkets rubs, covers. Many of these things are not quite expensive, and some you can do, and the price a brand new handbag.

But there is always a great low-budget way out – it’s accessories made with his own hands, that is hand-made.

In this article I will discuss how their own from old bags, cardboard and a couple of patches make a real case for the tablet form of the book.

– Scissors
– artificial or natural leather (I got the best of the old bags)
– cloth Lining (better to take a non-slip, and a thick cloth in my velor)
– glue “Moment”
– super glue
– glue term-gun
– laundry gum , black
– Velcro

This book cover for the tablet I took just half an hour. Cover needed urgently. And I’m not to waste money, I decided to do it herself.

I was useless bag that I carried by only a month, and then she broke the lock. Throw felt sorry, and I just put it to the best of times, that is, until, when I reach the hands to fix this unfortunate clasp. But the hand did not reach the whole winter, and gathering dust bag and hung on a hanger.

I never thought that once dare to reshape it and make a case for the tablet. But thinking what to do for the cover of the book-cover, I immediately remembered that same purse.

Then I died, if suitable for the size of the side of the bag. Everything was in order, so I cut it from the appropriate box. Then found a couple of patches for padding. I took glue Melt, eraser, scissors and cardboard.

Immediately I say about cardboard. Cardboard is better to take a tight, not brittle and not fat. Unfortunately, my board was quite thick, so the case has turned out not quite thin.

Another point. If you have a thin plastic, you can use it. I think it will be even better, because it does not soak in water and cover can be washed.

Well, like a prologue finished, now I will tell you how to do this cheholchik.

At first I looked around the plate with a pencil on cardboard.

I cut out of cardboard two equal parts.

Then she took a linen gum black and made from it the holders on the corners of the cardboard backing.

Then she took a linen gum black and made from it the holders on the corners of the cardboard backing.

Glue the two pads to the piece of artificial skin, cut from an old bag, stepping between them a distance equal to the thickness of the tablet.

After that, cover cropped to the desired size, and by bending the corners and put them on the glue.

From the mounting of the handle fastener made by gluing on the edge of the Velcro, and set him on a super-adhesive back strap.

Toilet Roll Mini Album Tutorial

No need to  buy any fancy supplies to make this toilet roll mini album apart from pretty papers. This is one of the thriftiest and coolest upcycled mini albums that you can make. As an added bonus, this is a project for anyone including seasoned scrapbookers, beginners and children.

Required Materials:

  • 3 or more toilet rolls
  • folder binder rings
  • Scrapbook patterned papers to decorate
  • Ribbon or fibers
  • A Bone folder – a ruler or dull dinner knife works just as good
  • A hole punching tool – crop-a-dile or a regular hole punch will do
  • Adhesive – I used regular PVA glue (white glue) and an old credit card or piece of firm card to spread the glue evenly
  • Paper trimmer or scissors

Directions

Step 1

Take your cleaned up toilet rolls and flatten them. Use the bone folder to firmly crease the folds so that they are as flat as you can make them.

Step 2

Now measure your flattened roll to get the ‘roll length’ and the ‘roll width’

Cut a piece of Patterned cardstock to be:
roll length + 1″   by   2 x rollwidth  then add on an extra 1″

Step 3

align one side of the roll with the edge of the paper and fold it over. Fold over again the remaining small piece.  You will now have three panels – the top flap, the middle and bottom panels.

Step 4

Now spread some glue evenly over one side of the flattened toilet roll. stick the roll to the middle panel. Be sure to center it.

Now take a pair of scissors and cut four small wedges in the card as shown below. This will enable us to tuck in the overhanging edges easily.

Step 5

spread a small amount of glue onto the overhanging edges and tuck them inside the roll and press firmly for a good 20 seconds to ensure they stick.

Step 6

Glue down the shorter top flap and tuck in the edges.

Step 7

Then glue down the last panel and overhanging edges.

Step 8

Repeat for the remaining toilet rolls. Cover them in the same or coordinating patterned papers.

Step 9

Take your hole punch tool and punch two holes a quarter inch in from the side of the flattened rolls for binding. My holes are also 3/4″ from the top and bottom of the rolls.
You don’t have to use rings for binding – you can thread through some ribbon and fibers if you wish.

Step 10

Measure and cut three cardstock tags that will fit into the pockets that will be created by the bound pages. I measured my tags to be a little longer so that they will protrude from the pockets.
Punch a hole approx 1/2″ in from the top of each tag in the center.  Use a corner rounder punch to round of the corners if you wish.

Thread the pages onto binder rings and tie on some pretty, coordination lengths of ribbon to embellish the album. Embellish the tags with ribbon as well.  And you’re done! Decorate each of the pages and tags with embellishments and photos and you have completed your toilet tissue holder mini book!Finished Toilet Roll Mini Album.
