Step 6 Gather your final supplies

Besides the photos, you'll also need some leather for the binding and a set of screw posts (also called Chicago screws). I listened to the advice over at the.curio.us website about avoiding Aluminum screw posts because they might strip when tightened - the local hardware store ONLY had these in stock and the clerk told me the same thing, so....

I found a great supplier for these - www.talasonline.com - they charge for the all-brass screws but they sure do look good and have a nice weight to them.

I found a 3" wide and 4" long strip of untreated leather from my local Tandy leather store - they also sell it online. I almost got the 2" wide but my photo stack was just a bit wider than 2" so I trimmed down the 3" using a standard box cutter.
