How to Make Homemade Scrapbooks
Creating a homemade scrapbook is a great way to preserve your memories and special moments. With a few basic materials, and a little bit of creativity, you'll have a unique, custom scrapbook to look back on for years to come.
Steps
- Gather your supplies. You'll need cardstock, scissors, a hole puncher, decorative paper, glue, and a photo album.
- Choose a theme for your scrapbook. This will help determine the kinds of paper, photos, and embellishments you'll use.
- Cut out the pieces for the pages and have them ready. You can use cardstock, pre-cut paper, or pieces from old books, magazines, or newspapers.
- Punch holes around the edges of the pages and assemble the book. Use the pre-punched holes in the photo album to secure the pages.
- Choose photos and stories to include and arrange them onto the pages. Put together collages, cut out images, and use embellishments and stickers.
- Glue your decorations and photos to the pages. Use a glue stick or a strong adhesive. Let your scrapbook dry overnight before moving on to the next step.
- Decorate the scrapbook cover. Embellish it with stickers, stamps, fabric, or photos.
- Enjoy your unique, homemade scrapbook!
