How to Make a Scrapbook

Deciding how to make a scrapbook is one of the most important decisions a new scrapbooker needs to make. There are so many delicious possibilities!

"Scrapbooking is life...the rest is details.
~Stickers 'N' Fun Scrapbooking Quotes"

 


Types of Scrapbook albums

Before you even start to make your album, some of the questions you might like to ask yourself are:

  • What size should my album be? Do I need to be able to add more pages later?

  • How many pages do I want to include?
    Why not share some album ideas of your own? You can post them to PaperCraftCentral by scrolling to the bottom of the page where there is an upload box :)

  • Should my scrapbook have a theme?

  • Is my album going to include mostly photos, or do I want to include stories and/or memorabilia? Do I need to plan to make some pockets for some of my items?

  • How long does my album need to last? Should I make it from archival materials?

  • Am I going to mail this item somewhere after I complete it? Is it going to be too heavy or large to mail easily?

  • What about the costs involved in the materials? Do I need to think of cheaper alternatives for some of my embellishments and perhaps make my own paper flowers?

You may have other questions to ask before you start making your scrapbook. The answers to these questions will help to determine your scrapbook size and type.

Here are some ways to make your own albums:

If you have a way to show me how to make a scrapbook, I would love to hear about it and see a picture of your project. Or tell me about some of your own tips and ideas for deciding how to create your favourite types of albums. You can share your ideas and a picture with me below:
