Question

How do I make it with just paper, no album?

Billie Lloyd

Community Answer

Buy a binder at any store and either cut down your paper to the size of notebook paper or purchase paper in that size. You can also buy notebook paper page protectors very cheaply at dollar stores.

Question

How to make a scrapbook at home?

Community Answer

When you scrapbook from home, set up a designated scrapbooking station. Create your album in a well-light work space that is equipped with a large work surface. You can organize all of your crafting material in built-in drawers and cubbies or create a mobile crafting station out of rolling drawers and/or light-weight bins.

Question

What kind of paper should I use for my scrapbook?

Community Answer

Any paper will work, just make sure it is not too thin. Decorated paper can work well. Also, make sure it matches the aesthetics of your scrapbook.

Question

Can I draw the pictures in my homemade scrapbook?

Community Answer

Yes, drawing pictures is a great use of your scrapbook. This can make it unique and far more interesting than a scrapbook with only pictures stuck into it from elsewhere.

No, not necessarily. Use what you have if that's easier for you, and choose what suits your project best.

Question

How did you make your scrapbook cover, and what material did you use? I want to attach some fishhooks but am unsure which material to use.

Dana AlZarouni

Community Answer

To add fishhooks, you can use super glue or a hot glue gun. Alternatively, you can use a small piece of tape, but be aware that it may not hold as securely.
