Probably no single handicraft technique is as exclusive as scrapbooking. Any crafts with a prefix "scrap-" ( albums , notebooks , postcards) are not just original, but are done literally in a single copy. And all because the source materials for this type of creativity are selected individually. Let's get acquainted with the craft of scrapbooking on the example of making a simple miniature album.
Master-class "How to make an album in the scrapbooking technique?"
- Before you start direct production of the album, you should carefully think over its contents, plan out what each page will be. Scrap-album can be dedicated to some event (for example, wedding or birthday), or to represent a whole period of time (school years, pregnancy period, etc.).
- First, prepare the pages for the album. To make them stronger, use plain cardboard for the base. Yes, it does not look very aesthetically pleasing, but you can always paste a bright, colorful substrate of designer paper on it.
- So, prepare the necessary number of pages and spill them in such a way to get folds in the right places. Use the creasing tool to create bends in four places on the cardboard sheet.
- Now we are going to create the cover of our mini-album. You will need two square sheets, cut from a thicker cardboard (very elegantly look rounded corners). Paper for scrapbooking, from which we make an album, can be purchased in stores for creativity. Typically, to create albums use:
- basic paper;
- background paper;
- a substrate for photos;
- various ribbons, braids, buttons and other decorative ornaments.
In exactly the same way as described in the presented scrapbooking master class, you can make a small notebook or children's album dedicated to a particular age (for example, from birth to a year).
