Fun With Scraps! Part III: Scrapbook Pages

This is Part III of a series of posts providing ideas for projects you or your child can make with a scrap sampler. Here I show a few very basic ideas for scrapbook pages... Yours could look so much better with some colored markers or paper that's not plain white!

Materials:
  • Blank scrapbook page
  • Scraps of huipil fabric
  • Fabric glue
  • Optional: Photos, markers, other papers or embellishments
Directions:
  • Choose photos and/or mementos (documents, ticket stubs, boarding passes, etc) for the page.
  • Cut out shapes, letters, or numbers for borders and embellishments from huipil scraps.
  • Attach huipil designs to paper with fabric glue.
  • Add text or other embellishments as desired.
Have you decorated any scrapbook pages using scraps of Guatemalan fabric? If so, I'd love to showcase your work here!

wow! all your post are eye candies especially for a craft geek like me. I haven't tried buying from online stores, might give it a shot next time I work on a project
