Use Decorations To Spice Up A Scrapbook

By Roger Gray


Do you want to know how to make souvenirs while showing your creativity? Compiling a scrapbook is a great way to enhance your creativity. You can do more than putting photos in an album. Not only do you have your one-of-a-kind photos to work with, but also you can assemble your scrapbooks with virtually an unlimited array of embellishments to jazz them up. These decorations will make your scrapbook unique, fun, and creative.

Do you know what embellishments refer to? Embellishments are something more than just paper. In fact, they can be made from plastic, wood, cloth, metal, etc. There are many embellishments you can purchase. These can be charms, braids, ribbons, buttons, beads, feathers, fibers, eyelets, hemp or jute cords, tags, and many more. Personal items can also be used if they have a connection with the scrapbook theme. Possibilities also include party invitations, confetti, and bits of wrapping paper from presents. For a scrapbook with a travel theme, try using a map of the location where you vacationed.

Embellishments can be attached using glue dots, which are extremely strong and great for sticking even heavy embellishments to album pages. You just tear off a piece of glue dot and put the embellishment over it. Hold the embellishment in place for a few seconds. You can use glue pens or double-sided tapes, too. You might want to sew some embellishments with embroidery floss or thread. You can even use colorful staples to attach stuff to a page.

While you're having fun decorating, remember that moderation is important. Do not lose sight of the fact that the photographs are the main focus of the page. Embellishments should only be used as an accent to compliment your photos. You surely don't want embellishments to become the main attraction in a page.

The varied selection of embellishments will set your pages apart from plain and boring photo albums. Your creativity is spiked when you have fun with embellishments. The above mentioned are just a few of the available embellishments, so go and have a good time finding others and decorating your scrapbook.
