Since it takes me just a couple of minutes to print my photos using the Canon TS9020 printer, I spent a little more time crafting up a perfect place to showcase my shots. I’m currently loving the 5×5 square photo paper, so I opted to create a DIY accordion photo book that will perfectly accommodate the size of these prints.
