Don't let your Instagram photos gather digital dust! Print and show off your favorite images in a handmade leather photo album.

This listing is for a small, square-format album that holds 48 photos. (These mini square prints fit perfectly: www.socialprintstudio.com/minisquares. Fujifilm Instax Mini photos also fit nicely in these books.)

Your book will be ready to ship within 1-3 days. You can choose your favorite leather and thread colors from the available options that I currently have in stock.

The leather cover is soft and flexible, and the Italian Longstitch binding style includes decorative exposed stitching along the spine, sewn with waxed linen thread. A leather strap wraps around the album to keep it closed.

Inside, you'll mount photos onto sturdy white acid-free pages with torn edges. (I recommend photo corners, acid-free scrapbooking adhesive, or double-sided tape.) Sheets of colored handmade paper wrap around the pages for a decorative accent at the front and back of the book.

The first Instagram album I made was an anniversary gift for my husband. Once the book was finished, it was exciting to see the images printed out rather than on a little iPhone screen. I know my husband and I have found it satisfying to finally print our photos — somewhat of a lost art.

Size of book: 4" x 4" (approximately)
Number of pages: 48
Binding style: Italian Longstitch
Uses: photo album

Choosing leather and thread colors:
When ordering, please select your preferred leather and thread colors. You may choose from either black or brown leather. Please refer to the color chart in the last image when selecting your thread color. The colored sheet of handmade paper used for the first and last page of the book will coordinate with the thread color. Please note that not all leather and thread combinations are available at all times.

I've also created a guide to printing Instagram photos on my website: http://www.linenlaidfelt.com/blog/2013/05/how-to-print-instagrams-to-display-in.html. Fujifilm Instax Mini photos also fit nicely in these books.

Please note that there might be some natural variations in the leather and handmade paper used for your one-of-a-kind handmade book. While you won't receive the exact books shown in the photos, yours will be as similar as possible. All books are made in a smoke-free environment.

I use handmade books in my daily life and share examples of how book lovers fill their books on my website at www.linenlaidfelt.com. Please consider sharing photos of your books in action, including on social media with the hashtag #myusedbook.
