When I started making this
album presentation box I wanted it to house a photo album 8” wide and had an
anchor template in mind. But while crafting there were so many adjustments to
the box/template size that eventually the end product was different and I do
not have exact measurements or template. Nevertheless, I thought I would share
the general idea used to make this anchor album holder.
I made two open boxes from heavy chipboard the same width and depth. I made a chipboard anchor shape ½” shorter than the base box (my base box was 10 ½” tall and the anchor shape was 10” tall). The top of the anchor shape was ½” taller than my box top (box top is 5 ½” tall and the anchor shape was 6” tall). This created an overhang to sit on the ledge on the bottom.
To make the chipboard
flexible to create curves I used my personal trimmer with the blade as it did
not cut through the chipboard. I scored in ¼” increments on the part of the
chipboard that I wanted to curve/shape. Do not cut through the chipboard just
score it. This will allow the chipboard to bend around the curves.
I hope you enjoyed your visit
and I would love to see the album display case you create!
