Strap Scrapbook hinges, broken need a few more...help!?

Question

Have 2 broken strap scrapbook hinges, staples pulled out, need to find some, help! Anyone please, 12 x 12 albums, I've looked everywhere, surely someone sells them or something similar?

Answer 1

A picture would have been definately helpful in this situation. I can't see the hinge. One thing that you may be able to use is what are called "Millities". That is the actual name and they sell them at Radio Shack.



Look on the web for "Millities" they are a real company. That is all that they make. With a photo I'm sure I could have come up with something for you.

Answer 2

I am answering in my husbands login so please don't be alarmed that this is coming from a guy (hehe). I too had this happen when I started I was using albums from a very nice home party sales type company. The albums are great and long lasting I just found I preferred the 12 x 12 designer papers more. If you book is like mine you should be able to trim your background 1/2 inch and it should fit between hard borders. This is usually best done prior to starting your page, but I have had some success trimming 1/4 in from each side of a completed page. Then you can glue the page directly onto the white page in the book. As for upgrading your book later, you might consider removing the staple hinges, and trimming the hard borders off. This makes it fairly easy to slide into a sheet protector to place in another book. If you're concerned about plain, you can usually add adhesive backed rhinestones, ribbons, and the like to embellish the album you already have. Many scrapbookers will tell you " a done page is a beautiful page!" Hope this helps. LM

Answer 3

If your album is a Creative Memories album, then I can probably help you. The plastic strip I gather is what you put in at the back or front of your album to feed the straps through to secure it? What colour are you looking for?

Answer 4

A Creative Memories consultant should be able to help you on a replacement part for this. I was able to get what you need from one myself when this happened a year or two ago.
