DIY Notebook/Scrapbook


Have you ever wanted to start writing a journal, but been overwhelmed by the large blank page? Have you ever wanted to start scrapbooking, but then been faced with the same problem? Well this is the perfect DIY for you! It is like starting a small scrapbook or journal and a perfect way to store all your memories. It would also be an awesome gift for a friend who is going away for school or just for the summer.

To start you need scissors, a pen, glue, notecards and a mini expanding file folder. Target sometimes has super cute file folders in the dollar section, which is where I got mine. You also need pretty paper, a picture and whatever else you want to decorate the notecard. This could include glitter glue or nail polish, washi tape or whatever else you want.


Start by covering the front of the notecard with paper and decorations. Glue the picture on the front as well. On the back write about the day the picture was taken. This can be a detailed account of what happened, just a few sentences, some funny quotes from the day or whatever you see fit. When you finish the craft you can file it away in the expanding file folder as an easy way to store your memories. This DIY is so simple I almost feel silly making a post about it, but I hope you guys enjoyed it! Here are some examples of how mine turned out.
