Thesesteps will show you how to make a special gift that is sure to be treasured by the mother of a new baby.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: 2 hours
Here's How:
- Purchase a small photo safe scrapbooking album, such as a 5"x7" album.
- Decorate each of the pages that comes with the album with a variety of baby stickers, die-cuts, and cardstock leaving room on each page for 1-2 pictures.
- Create a Title Page for the album, being specific with the child's name and birth date if known, leaving the details blank for an expecting mother.
- Purchase a set of page protectors to go with the album.
- Also, purchase several "extras" for decorating the album, for example: more stickers, die-cuts, pens, colored paper, and blue and/or pink alphabet and number stickers.
- Package the album and supplies creatively, possibly including a couple rolls of film.
Tips:
- New mothers have so little time for hobbies and crafts, so be sure to offer to help her complete the album after the pictures have been taken if needed.
- Use this same idea for other gift kits, such as teacher packs, Christmas gift albums, new home gift albums, etc.
- Keep the decorations on the pages simple by maintaining a color scheme and theme throughout.
