The problem is that those photos are quickly forgotten in our phone&#8217;s gallery and we don\u2019t get a chance to enjoy them on a regular basis.\u00a0The cool idea we bring you today allows you to print all these photos easily so you can see and show them to people whenever you want. We are going to create an <strong>accordion photo box<\/strong>, with the most relevant photos we took last year. It&#8217;s an alternative to a conventional photo album, but much more fun!<\/p>\n<p>It is also a great idea for a present. You can compile photos for someone&#8217;s birthday, a photo selection for a wedding anniversary&#8230; It&#8217;s a nice little gift loaded with good memories and very easy to make. Photos allow us to look back on our favourite moments together, so share them on paper!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready?

Use the pieces of washi tape as decoration around the photographs. You can use a felt-tip pen to write, on the washi tape, the place where the photo was taken, the date, or any little memory you want to remember every time you look at the photo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2156 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2018.01.24-Selfpackaging-Caja-Acordeon-Fotos-PASO-07-08-3.jpg\" alt=\"Accordion Photo Box\" width=\"1506\" height=\"814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2018.01.24-Selfpackaging-Caja-Acordeon-Fotos-PASO-07-08-3.jpg 1506w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2018.01.24-Selfpackaging-Caja-Acordeon-Fotos-PASO-07-08-3-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2018.01.24-Selfpackaging-Caja-Acordeon-Fotos-PASO-07-08-3-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2018.01.24-Selfpackaging-Caja-Acordeon-Fotos-PASO-07-08-3-1024x553.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1506px) 100vw, 1506px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>7 &#8211; Assemble the box and prepare the gingham ribbon that closes the box.
