Make A Bff Scrapbook

Organize your photos of you and your best friend by creating a scrapbook together.


An ideal way for best friends to capture memories of fun times together is to create a BFF scrapbook. A BFF -- best friends forever -- scrapbook is a book that is filled with pictures, memorabilia and stories about two or more best friends. If you are unfamiliar with scrapbooking, gather the appropriate supplies and follow some simple steps. Do this as an activity with your best friend and make a book together or have each friend make their own.


Instructions


1. Divide your pictures and memorabilia. Take all of the items that you want to place in a scrapbook and organize them by events or subjects. For example, if you have 10 movie ticket stubs, set all of them in a pile. If you and your best friend went to the beach together, place all of the beach photos together. By organizing the pictures and memorabilia, you will be able to create meaningful pages that are well thought out.


2. Take a blank scrapbook piece of paper. For a BFF scrapbook, you will need various colors and designs of paper to create your pages on. Make sure that the size of paper you have is the correct size for your scrapbook. Choose a color or design of paper for the first page of your scrapbook.


3. Lay out the pictures and memorabilia for this page. Arrange them in a way that will look good on the paper and attach them by using acid-free glue.


4. Add captions. By the photos and items, write short or long captions to describe what is happening in the photos or where you were when they were taken.


5. Decorate the page. Complete the page by adding stickers or embellishments that correlate with the theme of the page.


6. Create more pages. Using all of your divided piles of photos, make more pages for your scrapbook. If possible, keep the events in chronological order and make sure each page has a specific theme.


7. Place all of the pages into the scrapbook. Complete the book by decorating the cover of the book and give it a title, such as "BFFs!"
