I Want to Create a Film-Style Album ♡
The "Film-Style Album" is Slowly Trending on TikTok *

<How to Make a Film-Style Album>
◆Things to Prepare
・Black Cardstock
・Double-Sided Tape
・White Posca Pen
・String or Ribbon
◆How to Make
① Print the Photos. It's convenient to use a convenience store photocopier to print with "Index Print" or "Split Print". Prepare around 10 printed photos, all in landscape orientation *
② Cut the black construction paper longer and slightly wider than the printed photos to attach the photos.
③ Draw dotted lines with the white Posca pen on the top and bottom of the film *
④ Create the Base. You can make the base in the spool type like in the video above, or in the two-hole paper roll type like in the video below—choose your favorite.
⑤ Finally, to prevent the rolled part from unfurling, tie it with a ribbon or string, and you’re done ♡
