Scrapbooking is a great hobby that can be a lot of fun; however, it can also become very expensive.

Instead of spending that money, which you could very well pay for a vacation with at the end of the year, save it and make printable scrapbook frames at home in just minutes.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Graphic editing software
• Printer
• Paper of your choice

1. Choose the size you need for the scrapbook frame and open a new document of that size in your graphic editing software.

2. Fill the entire page with a shape of any size. You can make your scrapbook frames to be any shape that is available in your graphic editing software. Standard shapes usually include, squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, diamonds and many include shapes like fruit, vehicles and household items.

3. Cut out the center of the shape using whatever cutting tool is available. Leave at least 1/2 inch of the shape as the frame.
