A plain 4x6 photo album becomes something really special with some simple sewing and creative embellishment.
Abstract appliqué with scraps of recycled T-shirt fabric can make a really cool look.
If you find a T-shirt with graphics or text that match the subject of the album, you dont even need to worry about embellishment!

If you waited until this point to do embroidery, like I did, here's your blank canvas!


 I left the cover on the album while embroidering; since the fabric is stretched, it acted like an embroidery hoop—perfect!

Have fun with the embellishment: Make it an original, unique, personal, one-of-a-kind gift!

And I know how I'm going to decorate the photo album for the photos I'll give my mom for Christmas this year! Your directions are very easy to follow.
