Children's album with their own hands

A toothless smile, the first step, grimacing face and even the first tear - all this is to be remembered and proudly shown to friends and relatives. This is the best way to help children's album, composed in the technique of scrapbooking.

We start with small

Gore enthusiasm when viewing a lot of pictures, parents are often lost and do not know how to tastefully arrange the first children's photo album. If they have enough free time and skills in working with scrapbooking technology, the children's album will turn out to be truly exclusive. Otherwise, you can try to make an original photobook from an ordinary photobook.

To do this, you need a simple album with inserts for photos. It is worth choosing the option in which there are fields for notes. Next, you should stock up 4 sheets of thick paper, which by the size ideally repeat the outline of the pages of the prepared photobook. This is the main set on which the future children's album will be built.

Now you need to decide on the theme of the design and its color resolution. For example, the theme "Teddy" for the boy Misha. Therefore, you will need a set of scrapbooking paper with a picture of Mishka Teddy. If it does not exist, it will be enough to look through old children's books and magazines, from which you can cut out the image of the world-famous bear cub, and use a colored paper of pastel shades for the background. Also curly punchers, glue, scissors, decorative buttons, beads, braid will be useful.

The work begins with the fact that a new background with the application invented by the parents is pasted onto the cover of the photo album. Further on 4 sheets of heavy paper make thematic collages, for example: "My first days", "I'm already a year old" and others, which will be the milestones of the development of the baby. These sheets will become dividers, which can be inserted into the children's album as they are filled with photos.

Decoration in the technique of "scrapbooking"

Anyone who is fond of scrapbooking and has a high level of skill can create a completely exclusive album. The children's "keeper" of the most important moments of life in this case should be well thought out not only with respect to design, but also in content, so the work should begin from the second.

The next step is the selection of materials. It will take a preparation for a children's album (better on rings), sheets of thick paper according to the size of the album, design items. As the last you can use a wide variety of materials, from scrapbooking kits to non-standard decor elements, such as bamboo mats or dried flowers. Each page should be decorated separately, depending on the semantic load that it carries.

And the last tip: if there are many photos, and there is no possibility to choose one, then the creation of a collage using special computer programs will be an excellent solution.

A children's album is an opportunity to return to the past, therefore, when creating it, you should show all your imagination and skill.
