Family Fun Projects

Small Scrapbook

Here's a simple project for parents and children – and a fun way to display the first pictures of your new family addition.

You'll need

  • A large sheet of coloured art paper
  • Three pieces of board
  • A few sheets of decorative paper
  • Three photographs
  • Drawing materials
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Sticki Tape
  • Sticki Dots

Cut your decorative paper to the size you want. We’ve printed illustrations on to the paper, but if you don’t have access to a computer, you can draw your design.

Measure and mark out the centre of the page to fit your photographs and cut it out, leaving a decorated border.

Cut the boards to the size you want. Position them on the art paper to allow a border all the way round.

Glue the board in position and fold the art paper over the edges. Apply Sticki Tape along the edges of the paper to secure. Mitre the corners.

Fold the the art paper/board into three sections – one outwards and one inwards to create a zig-zag effect.

Cut two strips of art paper and using Sticki Tape, attach over the section folds to re-inforce them.

Position your pictures in each section and use Sticki Dots to secure them.

Apply Sticki Tape on the reverse of each decorated border and position over each photograph.

Use a clean, soft cloth to gently rub over all the seams to make sure they are secure.
