Making a Tiny Photo Album
How do you make a photo album gift? My mother's birthday gift this year was a tiny Instagram DIY photo album I created by printing her instagram photos from 2012 to 2016 – see instructions below! Follow my mother ( / dina073 ) on Instagram if you want and me while you're at it ( / awesomepedia ) but she is much more active so if you want more of ME you better subscribe http://bit.ly/1KplYjz ;-)

HOW TO MAKE AN INSTAGRAM DIY PHOTO ALBUM
I didn't go into a lot of detail in the video so here below are some instructions. Please ask questions if anything is unclear!
HOW TO DOWNLOAD INSTAGRAM PICTURES
I downloaded the photos using an addon called DInstagram. Honestly I don't know why they make it so hard to download photos, it would have saved me a lot of time if I could just get ALL of them in one go and go through them on my computer. Those tiny notebooks had a lot of pages so I printed a lot of pictures. A lot of the pictures weren't too high quality but luckily that didn't matter since I was printing them so small (and on such a crummy printer).
PRINTING AND GLUING A MINI PHOTO ALBUM
Had to use Adobe Bridge to generate a PDF where they were the right size, which was 3.4 x 3.4 cm. Then I simply cut them up and glued them in. When I was done I put a pile of history books on top of it to make sure the pages didn't get all wrinkly, but this was probably a bad move since it contributed to the colours bleeding together. If you attempt this, leave the book open instead and let it dry out properly — as you see in the video I have some problems with the pages sticking together too. I'm really terrible at this haha!
