The Inspired Notebook

If you haven't noticed I am recently infatuated with Polaroids.  The ironic part is - I don't even have a Polaroid camera.  Learn how to make you own Faux Polaroids with a tutorial I featured last month.



I like to clip or pin up photos and products I am working with to canvases, bulletin boards, and clothes pin lines in my studio.  This is my sea shell collection I often use as props for product photography.


I made a mini accordion book to keep my sea shell Polaroids in. You can make one too with these 3 simple steps:

  1. Cut 8.5"x11" craft paper or card stock into 4.25"x11" strips
  2. Using a scoring board or bone folder, fold accordion style
  3. Glue the strips to together with strong adhesive to make a 9 page book
