Scrapbooks

I’m kind of in the middle of a scrapbooking phase and I am always making scrapbooks; it’s so fun, really simple and really effective. Scrapbooks are a cool way to store memories and they can even be a place that is secretive to you. Like a diary or a journal you can store thoughts and feelings in them but with scrapbooks you don’t have to write a novel. You can simply stick in receipts and get creative.

It’s really easy to start a scrapbook. You can just cut pictures of your favourite bands, sports teams, shopping centres and anything really. If you like it put it in your scrapbook.

What you’ll need:

Notebook

Pens/pencils

Stuff to decorate it. Ribbons, pictures ect.

Glue

How to make a scrapbook:

1.       Get a random old notebook, but make sure you like it.

2.       Get creative. Start by sticking ribbons on the front and decorating it the way you like. You can make it as cool and plain or as jazzy and bold as you like. You don’t have to decorative the front, if you like the front cover then keep it like that.

3.       Open it up. Get cutting. Stick, stick, stick. You can start by putting quotes or sayings that you like in the front or you can begin with a full page of you!

4.       After you have completed the first pages it’s up to you if you want a specific order to your scrapbook or if you want to just randomly stick things in. I have got the first 5 pages of my scrapbook about my favourite bands/singers and about my friends and family. But it’s up to you on what you want to do.

5.       Keep it going. After these tips I’m sure you can carry on with your own creative ideas. Have fun scrapbooking! Xxx
