This summer, take some time from your busy schedule and gather all the scrapbooking supplies you need to create a scrapbook for your loved ones. This will surely make for a memorable gift.
Here are some fresh scrapbooking ideas to make your photos look cool and alluring.
- Cut Your Photos into Interesting Shapes
Sticking photos in their original rectangular shape make them look very plain and boring. Be bold, take a pair of scissors, and break away from the traditional photo by cutting them into different shapes. You can cut them into heart, square, zig-zag, and many more shapes. This trick will surely grab anyone’s attention.
- Add an Envelope
If you are in the habit of keeping things such as bills, wrappers, tickets, etc. that means a lot to you, you can store those in your scrapbook. You can always use envelopes to save these memories and then attach the envelope in your scrapbook. This will help in creating a scrapbook collection that is different from the usual.
- Use Real Flowers
Not all of us were born artists and were great at drawing so you should not worry if you do not know how to draw or paint. We have an alternative idea to help you embellish your scrapbook. Just use some real handpicked flowers and place them between sheets of wax paper. Now, keep the sheets between two heavy books and press the books against each other. Finally, decorate your scrapbook with the pressed flowers once they are dried.
- Use Washi Tapes
Washi tapes are pretty, decorative masking tapes that are an important tool in your scrapbooking kit. You can add a finishing touch to your photos quickly and easily with the help of these tapes. You can use washi tapes with different patterns, designs, and colors to stick around your pictures to enhance their look.
- Add Some Ribbons
Colorful ribbons are in trend. You can use them to create visual effects for your pictures. Make a beautiful ribbon bow and paste it on the corners of your photographs. Or use textured ribbons to make the borders of your photographs. Trust us, this will make your scrapbook look more colorful and awe-inspiring.
