DIY scrapbooking album project

You can make a step-by-step scrapbooking album yourself by punching the design out of paper with scissors and a hole punch, or by using a cutting plotter and a graphics program. Our design was downloaded from Silhouette Design Store, it can of course be modified, enlarged or trimmed according to our needs and vision.

The next step is to print the photos and images we will use in the album. You can cut them out by hand or on a cutting plotter using the print and cut function.
If you use this function, remember to include the markers that the plotter will read and place the graphics within the red lines.

How to make a scrapbooking album?

After cutting out the album page on stiff paper (we recommend 250-300g), cut out the cover as well and fold along the perforated lines.

Next, place the studs in the album holes and arrange the album pages on them. Fold the teeth of the studs to hold the pages in place.

Scrapbooking DIY photo album should also include an interesting cover. It will be folded and hidden under the studded flap in our project. Use adhesive tape to adhere the cover to the front.

Done! The studs also make it easy for you to swap pages or add new pages in your handmade DIY album.
