Make an album for yourself with photos for your photos - save your memory for many years

Now, in the age of modern technology, the fashion for "grandma's" photo albums is a thing of the past. But it's so nice, flipping along with the children's album, made with your own hands in childhood, to remember the pleasant moments of life and again to experience all the precious moments. With the advent of digital photos, there is no need to print pictures. Why store a lot of photos in a drawer? But if you want to preserve the history of your family, children, it's worth picking out the best ones from all the pictures and making an album yourself, commenting on the significant events with the inscriptions.

Original cover design

Starting this creative work, pay attention to the design of the cover. "Revive" the dull oilcloth or fabric, using a variety of decorative elements. A modern kind of needlework - scrapbooking - will help in this. To decorate suitable stickers, rhinestones, buttons, ribbons, scraps of beautiful fabric and various interesting knickknacks. Such an album, produced by your own hands, will not only be a "storehouse" of photos, but also an expression of your unique creative "I".

Scrap-albums are unique works of art, because in addition to pictures, they usually use poems, memorabilia, notes on events.

Select an album for photos

There are three types of photo albums:

- with plastic windows for pictures;

- with cardboard sheets, on which it is possible to paste photographs of different sizes;

- with magnetized sheets.

The first view is most convenient and practical, but excludes the possibility to design a memorable album, making inscriptions under the pictures. If you prefer the second kind, it will allow you to use your imagination more fully, sticking pictures of different sizes in different locations and commenting on the events. Magnetic sheets will also help to show creativity, creating an album. With your own hands, you can decorate the original thing without applying glue and corners. But over time, the magnetic sheet is scratched, and the photos are peeled off. Therefore, if you want to make a beautiful and really valuable thing for a long time, it is worthwhile to take as a basis for the work an ordinary album with cardboard sheets.

Albums dedicated to memorable events

Of course, the main family photo albums will tell about several years of life, showing the most interesting pictures in chronological order. But in the life of every person there are significant events that usually capture, making photos. Devote each of them a separate album: "The Wedding", "Our Baby" (from birth to 1-2-3 years), "School Years", "Studenthood", etc.

Especially unique and important is the wedding album. With his hands making out it, you can put warmth of feelings and sharpness of emotions in creating the first joint memorabilia. In advance, think over the location and order of the pictures: it will be interesting to recreate the history of love from the beginning of the acquaintance to the wedding celebration and the wedding.

Do not delay work in the long box. The sharper the emotion from the experience, the more interesting it will be to create a photo album that will help convey your feelings.

The second important event in the life of every person is the birth of a child. Your baby, when he grows up, will be very grateful to you for the unique photos. Make a children's album with your own hands, starting, which is now very fashionable, with pictures taken before the birth of the baby.

Create, create delightful albums, keeping memory for many years!
