I found these cute little mini lunch box albums at Targets Dollar spot and decided to turn them into mini albums.  They have been a huge hit at the store, so I thought I would share the directions with you.  As of last night at Target they had a few left and were clearancing them for 50 cents a piece.  Good deal.

All you need to do is cut a piece of twelve by tweve paper in to 4×12 inch pieces.  You will have 3 pieces, but you will only need two of these.  Next, score every 2 1/2 inches, peak and valley.  This makes your accordian album.  Add photos and embellishments next.  You can go as simple or as elaborate as you wish.  I used lots of photos, prima flowers, buttons and rhinestones.  After you have decorated your accordian album, just insert into the lunchbox and adhere with red line tape (this will make sure it stays put).  Next all you have left to do is decorate the outside of the lunchbox with a few embellishments like ribbon and rhinestones. 

Super cute, super easy and the perfect little memento for summer or maybe for back to school photos on the first day!!!

Sorry about the layout of the photos..I have a terrible time with the way this program uploads the photos…I just don’t get it.  I’m working on it so bare with me!

Have a creative week and remember to take time to PLAY!!!
