Scrapbooking supplies (especially my favorite papers) don’t often come cheap. Here’s a few simple suggestions on how to stretch the paper kits you love so that you can scrapbook without worrying about financing your hobby.
How to make your favorite scrapbook papers last longer
- When using a patterned paper as a backdrop to another large sheet, cut out the middle of the back paper and reuse the removed piece on framing a photograph, making embellishments or other smaller projects.
- Plan album layouts that papers with patterns on each side of the sheet can be used on both sides in an album.
- Keep a box to catch small paper trims and cut-offs for use to make tags and other small embellishment details.
- To make a scrapbook kit stretch further use coordinating papers and card stock for the bulk of pages.
