Sustainable Scrapbooking: The Ultimate Guide
While getting crafty is a great project for the family, traditional scrapbooking uses lots of paper, glue, and even plastics to create the works of art. Not only does it create unrecyclable waste, but it can also get pretty expensive. With this in mind, we created our Sustainable Scrapbooking ultimate guide with our best selling photo albums, journals, and recycled newspaper products to help you create something special without compromising on your green values.
START YOUR SCRAPBOOK
So where do you begin? You’ll want to start with picking an event or theme for your scrapbook. You might have a special someone’s birthday coming up, or maybe you’re in need of a place to keep baby photos, wedding photos, or keepsakes from a special trip. It could be based around a specific event, or an ongoing project to keep adding to over the years. Just make sure you’ve got plenty to fill your scrapbook with!
Now for the basics – collecting your materials. For your most special memories you’ll want to choose a scrapbook that looks good, feels nice, and is hardwearing enough to keep your treasures safe over the years. And it’s even better if it’s handmade, Fair Trade, and crafted from sustainable materials! Here are some of our favourites.
