"Refill Albums: The Stylish Trend of Going Coverless and Embracing Only Refill Pages"

Transparent Albums are All the Rage♡

Recently, fashionable students have started creating albums called "refill albums"＊

A refill album, as the name suggests, is an album that exclusively uses "refills." It doesn’t have a front or back cover, but instead, consists solely of refills to create an album♡

The photos to be placed in the refill are card size, typically with a blank space left below to give it a Polaroid-style look. By applying a retro filter to the photos, the album becomes "emo"＊

＜How to Create a Refill Album＞

Let me introduce how to make a refill album right away＊

【Materials Needed】

① Trading card size refills (A5 size with four cards in a vertical layout. You can find these at Daiso labeled "A5 Trading Card 4 Pocket, 12 Pieces.")

② Rings or ribbons to hold the refills

③ (If you want to include a cover) A transparent file in A5 size

【How to Make It】

First, print your photos. Half of an L-sized photo is the same size as one trading card. Print on L-sized paper and cut them in half＊

Using apps like PicsArt or LINE Camera to create your images makes it simple. Set the aspect ratio to 2:3 (the sides may get slightly cut off) or 4:3 (the top and bottom may get slightly cut off) and leave a blank space at the bottom.

Print the created images on L-size paper and cut them in half＊

Write text in the blank space of the photos, insert them into the refills, and hold the refills together with rings or ribbons, or put them in the transparent file to finish♡

＜Cute Refill Albums♡＞

Let me introduce some refill albums I actually made＊

Just the refills without a cover. The charm of a refill album is that you can add as many refills as you want or change the cover to your favorite photo♡

Gift Wrapping♡

Including a calendar is also lovely＊

Creating a "refill album" using trading card refills.

Of course, you can also print your photos to cover the entire card size, but by processing them into a Polaroid style, they can quickly become fashionable♡ Being able to add text is also a key feature＊

Since you use refills, you can add photos later, which is another appealing point. Each time you have new memories, print them and keep stacking your refill albums♡
