Show How to Make A Christmas Scrapbook Here's a great idea for salvaging those used or leftover left-over Christmas gift wraps. . You may use a regular 3-ring 3-ring loose-leaf notebook, or cut cardboard to any size you like, for the covers. If you make your covers you can punch holes in them later and put covers and inside in-side pages together with left-over Christmas ribbons (press them smooth first). Cover notebook or cardboard card-board with gift-wrap paper. You can press used or leftover left-over Christmas wrap paper smooth with an iron,' set on very low heat. Measure notebook, taking the height and width of front and back covers. Add 1" overlap to all four sides. Cut out of one piece of paper, or two if you use two pieces of cardboard. Notch the corners. Using rubber cement, or any household glue, glue paper to outside covers of notebook, note-book, centering between the notched corners. Then glue overlaps to inside of covers. Measure exact dimensions of inside covers. Cut out one piece of gift wrap for each (this could be a contrast pattern) and cement into place, covering overlaps. Select a scene from a Christmas card and glue to the center of front cover. Trim the edges, if you like, with leftover ribbon, gold braid, or tape. For the inside pages, use your imagination! Group the Christmas cards you want to save on the pages, and glue them to paper (construction paper would be good for this) . Put in souvenirs of Christmas parties, par-ties, and photos. You'll have a Christmas Scrapbook to cherish and remember! |
