Two Ways to DIY a Smash Book Scrapbook

July 30, 2015 by Francine Clouden

If you’re looking for a simple way to document family memories, especially during the busy time that is summer vacation, check out these two tutorials explaining how you can make DIY Smash books. Smash books are simpley notebooks that you can paste photos and other items in as you like, without having to give too much thoughts to designing a page layout.

The first idea from The Realistic Mam, uses a plain notebook to which you can add patterned papers, photos and journaling. See it all at the link below.

The second method comes from my personal blog, Callaloo Soup. In my tutorial I show you how to construct a smash book from scratch, using chipboard, patterned papers and a binding machine like the Bind-it-All.
