Scrapbooking is one of the best hobbies to learn or to get engaged in. It is a fun hobby that lets you preserve your favorite memories and keepsakes. So, if you have also been bitten by the scrapbooking bug then you are sure to put a large dent in your wallet. Because, scrapbooking materials from paper to embellishments can be pricey if you want to be so creative for it. However, relief can be in site if you have a nice binder and some blank card stock papers.
Find some cost-effective steps to make scrapbook -
1. Gather all materials like card stock, binder and binder sleeves, all of which should be of the same size. Like, if you prefer 8x10 binder, then use 8x10 binder sleeve and similarly 8x10 piece of cardstock. Besides, number of sleeves and pieces of cardstock paper you need will vary on how large you wish to make your scrapbook. Bear in mind that binders come in many different sizes from 1/4 inch to 5 inches deep. So, choose the depth accordingly.
2. Now, pick one piece of cardstock paper and place it on your work area. Make your page using the colored and patterned scrapbook paper, mementos, photographs and embellishments that enhance the look and fits in with your style. Keep in mind that to slide the embellishments easily into the sleeve keep them relatively flat. Glue everything into place.
3. Insert scrapbook page into binder sleeve. The sleeve comes complete with an area that is punched appropriately for your binder. Alternatively, place the sleeve into the binder. Then, repeat the process until all your pages are complete and inserted into the binder.
4. Lastly, create a cover. You can do this by including a clear plastic flap on the front cover where you can insert a cover page. Create a cover page using another piece of card stock paper. Keep it simple with flat embellishments. Then, eventually insert the cover page behind the flap carefully.
So, are you ready to show off your own made scrapbook?
