Take a regular photo album, if you don't already have one they can be bought in any department store usually in the stationary department. Select a cheaper one, as the fabric of your choice will cover it and it will be beautiful when you are finished. Select any size you choose, as it is easy to measure needed fabric to the album of your choice.
For a wedding keepsake, usually the fabric of choice is white satin.
Be sure the fabric fits the total outside of the album, and completely covers the inside covers of the binder. Make sure to increase satin size for a small oval shape in the center of the album. Next you will want to measure the outside of the album for the amount of lace needed.
Lay the fabric smooth on a flat surface. Lay the album squarely on the fabric. Fit it to the album, bringing the fabric inside to cover area completely. Glue it securely in place.
Next glue the lace all around the outer edges of the album.
Cut an oval shape from any leftover satin. Take some cotton and glue onto center of album. Make sure there is glue on top of the cotton to hold the oval shaped satin in place. It will be raised and soft on the front cover of the album.
Place white satin ribbon tied into a bow at the top of the oval shape batting in the center.
You are ready to begin placing your wedding photos into the album.
