How to Make an 8th Grade Memory Book

Create a scrapbook to chronicle eighth grade.

Some students and parents want to create a memory book for the eighth grade. For many students, after eighth grade they will start high school, often in a new building. The number of events that occur in eighth grade depends on what the student is involved in and the school.

Things You'll Need

• Scrapbook
• Paper
• Photos
• Photo glue or tape
• Stickers, embellishments
• Fine-tipped marker

Instructions

1. 

   Choose an album that the student likes.

   Count the number of pages in the scrapbook. Count the back and front of each sleeve. Save the front page of the album as the introduction and the back sheet for graduation (if applicable).

2. 

   Hundreds of patterns of paper exist for people to use in memory books.

   Assign a theme to each sheet. You can use two pages for one theme, if necessary. For example, if the student took a trip, he may need multiple pages to document it.

3. 

   Captions help explain what is going on on the page.

   Decorate a piece of paper for each sheet. Choose a pattern or color of paper that ties in with the theme. Adhere any background pieces to the paper first, such as picture backing or maps. Glue on the pictures. Add stickers or write in comments and headers.

4. 

   Share the completed memory book with family and friends.

   Place the piece of paper in the scrapbook sleeves.

Tips & Warnings
