Hello, seems like I only posted this morning.... Oh wait I did....Sorry about that....I honestly did forget to post it yesterday, Mr Darcy and Lizzie Bennet were just too distracting....
This afternoon I've got one of those "how to's" and true to what I said earlier, it is
perfect for a Christmas gift. Photo albums. So simple, so effective. Great for
relatives or fill one full of selfies of you and your friends!
You will need:
A plain notebook with a hard cover (no ring-binder
because you’ll just make things difficult for yourself)
Glue
Scissors
Wrapping paper/pictures from magazines/tissue paper
Ribbon/buttons/stickers/glitter
Pictures of you, your friends or family
How to make:
Step 1: Lay
your wrapping paper, or whatever you choose to use as your base pattern,
pattern side down on a flat surface and put the notebook open on top of it.
Make sure there is enough to cover the pad, then stick glue over both covers of
the book. Lay it down on the paper, then open the pad making sure the paper
sticks to the spine before you stick the front down.
Step 2: Either
cut off the excess or fold it down on the inside. If you cut it off, then you
could maybe stick the edges with pretty sticky tape.
Step 3: Now
for the fun bit. Decorating! If you could hear me, then you would know I said
that in a squeaky/excited/weird voice….yeah,I’m sad…. You could maybe use a
favourite photo on the front, or stick strips of ribbon on the front. Cut
pictures out of magazines and make a collage or use patterned paper to cut out
shapes. You could outline the pictures with buttons or ribbons. Really go wild,
make it special and totally unique!
Fill it with pictures of you, your family and friends.
You could decorate each page especially with stickers, buttons, pretty,
patterned tape or doodle silver stars and rainbow coloured hearts in the
corners of the pages. You could make more than one and give them to
grandparents or all your friends. Make them unique for each person, changing
the pictures or amount of glitter.
I’m sure whoever you give them to, they will absolutely
love it!
