Scrapbooking - Mini Scrap Books using Ziploc Bags

Scrap Books using Ziploc Bags

Being innovative in creating special scrapbooks is very interesting and fascinating. It can be quite educational too.

Since scrapbook making is quite expensive, parents tend to be around the children making sure they do not waste anything and consequently spoil the fun for them.

We can avoid this by giving them ideas to make scrapbooks using inexpensive materials.

All you need is a box of resealable bags preferably with nothing printed on them apart from the regular materials like cardboard, glue, scissors, hole punch, photos, mementos, etc.

The procedure involves -

* Piling five bags with the opening at the top. Staple the bags on the left side of the pile together.

* Cover the cardboard sheets with construction paper. Punch holes of about three fourths of an inch with a hole punch on one side of the cardboard sheets. Keep the unpunched sheet under the punched sheet and makr where the holes are. Punch matching holes then in the second sheet. Now, this is the scrapbook cover.

* You must now place the stapled stacks of bags inside the cover. Drive nails through the bags using punched holes in the cardboard cover as a guide and make matching punch holes. Repeat again with second stack of bags.

* After aligning all the bags with the covers, sew through the cover and bags with a yarn needle. You can whipstitch from bottom to top and then again to the bottom. You can make a yarn bow at the binding.

* Using rulers and scissors, measure one inch from the left edge of the top cover and score along this line to make the scrap book open and close easily. Do the same with the back cover and leave it stiff.

* Now, cut construction papers 10” x 10” in size. These will be the papers which will slip into your plastic bags. You can keep photos, mementos, etc inside these plastic bags and write journals and memories under the photographs. The outside of the scrap book can also be decorated attractively with markers and colours.
