Scrapbook in a Box

Before you add the pages to the box, you will want to embellish them with photos, journaling, and embellishments on both sides of the strip, leaving the back of the top and bottom squares blank. It is very difficult to decorate your pages, once you have them in the box, so take the time now to complete all of the scrapbooking that you plan to add to the tiny layouts.

Once your pages are complete, add photo tape to the back of the bottom square and center it in the box, pressing firmly to attach. Add photo tape to the back of the top square and center it in the lid pressing firmly to attach. Now the pages should be attached at the top to the inside of the lid and at the bottom to the inside of the box so that when opened the pages pop-up and fold out for viewing.

Finish your box by embellishing the outside and adding a title. For ideas for box and page embellishments, visit the Scrapbook in a Box gallery. The gallery contains three finished boxes to inspire you to give this project a try.
