How to Start a Scrapbooking Group
Scrapbooking is a great and popular hobby. Preserving memories is something a lot of people have in common and to make it fun, scrapbooks are used. It is a creative and storytelling hobby that people of all ages can do. To make this solitary hobby into a social activity, you can start a scrapbooking group. Members can help each other with ideas and admire what each other have accomplished.

Find people to join the group. You can invite people you know are interested in scrapbooking. These people can invite people they know to round out the group. If you want to have more people involved, consider taking out an ad online on websites like Craigslist. Or consider a digital scrapbooking group (see Resources below).

2
Find a place for having regular meetings. Because this is a scrapbooking group, you'll need plenty of space and surface space to scrapbook.

Create a set time and date for your scrapbook group to meet. Because the group will consist of many different people with differing schedules, get everyone's input before making the final decision. Consider having one or two different days to meet if the group is large enough and the demand is high.

Let group members know what to expect. Should they bring their own tools, or will you provide some?

Consider having items available to purchase. You can go to a scrapbooking store or buy things online. Have them available at your house in case someone runs out or needs extra. If you know of people with these items or a group like Creative Memories, invite them to join you.

Make it a BYO event. Scrapbooking can take hours, and many scrapbookers spend a lot of time working on their books. To make it more fun, have everyone bring in a snack to share with the others. Maybe everyone can chip in and order takeout. You can create a theme for each session to make it more interesting.

Tips & Warnings
Create a name for the scrapbooking group. It may sound cheesy, but sometimes choosing a name is a good bonding technique.
