*How to...* Scrapbooks

   Hi everyone! As I promised, I`m going to show some very easy and nice (I think) idea of a Christmas present. If I have to be honest, I really don`t like shopping and especially when I don`t know what to buy. So that`s why I prefer to make handmade presents. If you like this one you can make it it`s very easy and fast. And the best ting is, that you can always make it as you like. I learned it at one workshop which was organized in my school. I will show you the original one, too which is mine and than the new ones, made for my friends! :) Enjoy!

Time: approx. 15-25 minutes

What we need:
* paper 20x20 cm it has to be quad and as accurate as possible
* scissors
* glue
* pencil
* color papers
* sello tape
* ruler
* twine or ribbon or something like that
* decorative cutter, it`s not necessary but its nice with it or you can use anything for decorating. It depends only on you. :)





1. STEP:

• So first of all you have to tag together the paper into a grating made of 16 quads. Try to do it as accurate as possible.. :)

2. STEP:

• Now it`s time to cutting. Do it as it`s one the picture. You just cut the paper always from the other side.

3. STEP:

• If you`ve already cut the paper, now it`s time for folding. I`m not sure if you`ll be able to understand the photo but at the end you should have something like "accordion".

4. STEP:

• You`d better stick the twine. It`ll be fixed and you won`t have problems with it later. :)

• And then you should stick the first "pages" so the twine will be hidden.

5. STEP:

• Now it`s time for the more colorful part. :) Cut out the piece of colorful paper (you can choose a color) and it should be bigger than the scrapbook. Then, you can cut it to smaller.
• Stick it on the paper because it will be harder and better. ;)
• And now cut out it again. 

6. STEP:

• Time for decorating! :)
• You can put there anything you want. Just make your mind be creative! :)

7. STEP:

• Use the glue for the whole colorful part and stick it on the white scrapbook.
• Note: The cover should be bigger!!

8. STEP:

• The last thing before the very end is to make a bow! :)

ALL DONE!

 Hope you like it! :)
