In this workshop you’ll learn one-page zine folding techniques combined with collage and scrapbooking tips to create mini memory books.
These are the perfect alternative to traditional scrapbooks and printed photo books. Mini memory books provide a bite-sized, hands on and personalized way to remember family vacations, holiday celebrations, and special milestones. Bring printed photos to fill your book, or have a future event in mind and make a memory book template that can be filled in at a later date.
Memory books are best when customized to you. Feel free to bring:
-
Photos (printed on copy paper with a home printer work great for this project, keeping in mind your book pages will be 2.5”–5” inches wide)
-
Tickets
-
Product labels and packaging
-
Receipts
-
Stickers
-
Magazines
-
Greeting cards, postcards, and handwritten notes
-
Fabric scraps
-
Washi Tape
-
Anything you won’t mind cutting up and gluing into your memory book!
