Scrapbooking Supplies – Extraordinary Scrapbooking Supplies

September 24, 2009 · Filed Under Scrapbooking 

When creating a scrapbook, sometimes, people get the urge to do something different – something more than usual. While scrapbooking supplies like ribbons, yarn, paper and the likes are available to beautify a scrapbook, experimentation and exploration with other materials can make a scrapbook even more eccentric and eye-catching as usual.

If you’re looking for a cool change from the ordinary scrapbooking materials, here are a few supplies that may be of good use for your scrapbook.

Buttons

Buttons aren’t only as good as the front of the shirt. Buttons can also be used for your scrapbook – especially for edge markers. While you can count on the theme for the colors of your buttons, if you’d like a more personal touch with your scrapbook, you can also use the buttons of your shirt used on the day of your memories. Scrapbooking supplies like buttons can be attached by glue or by double-sided adhesive tape.

Shells

A good souvenir from a gorgeous beach makes up one good memory. Beautiful shells can also beautify a scrapbook. While on vacation, pick up unusual shells or colorful shells that can be used to tie into a necklace. Then, stick the necklace onto the page with glue gun or Crafters Goop. Scrapbooking supplies like shells can be hard to attach onto a page even with glue gun, but if you outline the shell carefully with the glue, sticking shouldn’t be too hard. Shells can be used as an outline for photos or as edge markers. Shells can also be repainted for a more personal decorative purpose.

Coconut skin

Ever been to a place where visitors drink straight from the coconuts? Well, just like that, instead of throwing away a useful and natural material, why not cut the coconut open and use the coconut skin as an embellishment for your scrapbook? Skin lightly and you can even get a photo mat out of coconut skin.
