How to Create a Scrapbook With Friends

If you have a group of friends who do a lot of fun activities together, you should create a scrapbook together depicting the best of times. All you need are some photos, scrapbooking supplies and free time. It's helpful if at least one person in the group does scrapbooking as a hobby and has some of the essential scrapbooking tools to create a masterpiece.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Discuss in advance what type of scrapbook you want to create and the timeframe it should cover. For example, it could summarize fun events over just the past year. Instruct everyone to locate photos and other relevant memorabilia, such as a concert tickets, event programs and amusement park tickets.
2. Decide how to share the cost of the supplies among everyone. Either everyone can chip in and one person buys the supplies, or everyone can be responsible for their page.
3. Arrange a meeting time and place to plan the scrapbook and select photos as a group. It should be somewhere with a large work surface that can accommodate the number of people. Everyone should bring photos, mementos and scrapbooking supplies and tools.
4. Sift through the photos and select two to four for each page. Include as many group photos as possible. Decide what other mementos can be added to the page.
5. Let each person pick which page they want to work on or divide into teams of two or more people.
6. Work on the scrapbook as a group if possible by meeting as often as necessary. Otherwise, each friend should head home with the necessary photos, mementos and supplies to create a page.
7. Assemble the book and take turns keeping it so everyone has a chance to share it with family and other friends. Make colored copies so everyone has their own treasured book to keep.
