halloween through the years

Oct82012 posted by Jodie 11 Comments

Before the sun goes down and the trick-or-treating begins on Halloween, we make sure to grab a picture of our kids in their costumes. And since we now have a pretty big collection of photos, we figured we should find a way to show them off.
A “Halloween Through the Years” accordion album
You should be pros at putting together these accordion albums.
We shared a couple tutorials with you HERE and HERE.

this little album measures just 3 by 4 inches and would be perfect for a coffee table, office desk or to send to the grandparents.

what you’ll need
• wallet-sized photos
• HALLOWEEN 4×6 title page (download HERE)
• 4×6 date page (download HERE)
• black cardstock
• twine or ribbon
• adhesive

how to assemble
• cut 4″ by 9″ strips out of your black cardstock (i used 5 sheets of 8.5×11 and i had room for 20 photos inside my finished album)
• score and fold the strips every 3″
• adhere together the last fold on the first paper to the first fold on the second paper and repeat until all sheets are together, making an accordion – you’ll want to leave at least one empty page at the end so you can add on for next year
• trim your wallet-sized photos (mine came four on a sheet at costco for 39 cents) and then adhere them onto your pages
• cut your dates out (i added notches to make flags) and then adhered them to the first photo of each year)

• cut a piece of twine or ribbon about 30 inches long and tie it around your cute little album.
or stand it up on a table or tv and display it proudly.

next week, we’re sharing another idea for those halloween photos.
(this time using 4×6 photos)

    This idea is absolutely adorable!! Thanks so much for sharing! Do you have an update for the years by chance? Since I am just now seeing this and looking forward to making it, I will need dates past 2015. If you do not have one, can you share what font you used to make these?
    Thanks so much!!

    I know that it’s kind of early for Halloween but can you please add more years to your printable? It ends with 2014 and I would love to have 2015 and up with matching font. Thanks for sharing your adorable idea!
