you can
today I'm making a mini flip book using
small photos
it will make a sweet valentine's gift
for someone special
there are several methods of obtaining
the pictures for your flip book
depending on the technology you have
available if you have a digital camera
with a continuous shooting option you
can use that or if your camera has a
sports mode that allows you to take
several shots in a row that will work
too
light efficient way in
you can also use a webcam
some have a continuous shooting mode you
may need to change the settings to
reverse the image as your letters may
appear backwards
finally you have the option of taking a
video clip and then using editing
software to print it as a film strip
i'm going to use this last method using
my Mac computer and I movie software i
upload my video clip then adjust the
number of frames for thumbnail to give
me as many shots as possible
now I can go to file print event to give
me a little film strip or I can choose
to save it as a PDF file and then resize
and print the image using iphoto print
on regular paper but change printer
settings to the highest quality
yeah
once your photos are printed cut them to
a uniform size minor about an inch wide
as you cut your photos be sure to keep
them in consecutive order
yeah
there
now we'll make the background pages for
our flip book you can use colored paper
if you want but make sure it's
lightweight and not part stock
I'm cutting my pages slightly taller
than my photos and about twice the
length of the photos to the far right of
the page
this will allow you to see the photos
easily in the books flipping quickly you
can add a cover if you wish
tap the stack of pages against the table
to align neatly staple the book together
this is one little photo album they're
sure to flip for for more project ideas
