Below is a guide to help you create personalized wall décor for gifts using scrapbook supplies and your own photographs.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Glue/tape runner
• Markers/colored pencils
• Paper (patterned and solid)
• Card stock (solid)
• Chipboard
• Photograph(s)
• Ribbon

1. Cut chipboard into three squares, circles or shapes of your choice. These can be any size you choose with each being the same size or make them all different sizes.

2. Cut three pieces of card stock into the same size and shape as the chipboard pieces. Use glue or a tape runner to adhere the card stock to the chipboard.

3. Use a coordinating piece of cardstock or patterned paper to create a frame around the chipboard. Cut the paper to the same size as the chipboard and then cut out the center. Cut a regular square frame or be creative and cut a circle, triangle or any shape you want out of the center of the paper. Attach the frame to the chipboard shape using glue or a tape runner.

4. Write a poem, thought or quote onto one piece of the cardstock covered chipboard. Add a photograph to the second chipboard shape and then write the name of the person in the photograph, the birth date, event date or any other information you feel pertinent onto the third chipboard shape to personalize it.

5. Cut four pieces of ribbon to about one inch in length. Adhere two pieces of ribbon onto the back of the top chipboard shape towards the bottom and connect it to the top of the middle shape and then repeat the process with the middle and bottom shape.
