Scrapbooking Cover Decor

This type of creativity involves the use of paper, paints, stickers and other decorations with which skillful hands turn a wedding album into a work of art. Using this technique, ordinary wedding photos are transformed into unusually decorated memories..
But the hobby for scrapbooking is not a cheap hobby. To create wish books, special materials are used that do not allow the paper to turn yellow or fall apart over time. To create a unique wedding album, the newlyweds will need:
Paper of different types. This is a special cardboard without chemical additives, which gives an excellent opportunity for a book to be stored for a wedding for a long time..
Stamps: ready-made phrases and inscriptions, without which a memorable story will not be created.
Various adhesives from PVA to a special glue gun that leaves no residue on paper.
Decorations: flowers, beads, beads, letters, buttons, stickers, glitter, eyelets, decorative powder and the like.
Decoration with bows and ribbons
It’s easier and cheaper to decorate the guest book yourself with colored satin ribbons and bows to match. A wide ribbon can be gently glued onto the colored cardboard of the cover together with a strip of beautiful guipure, and then a smart satin bow can be tied on top, in the middle of which you can glue a decorative flower, pearl, several rhinestones or other decor. The bow is selected either according to the color of the main ribbon or a contrasting shade.
Openwork lace
Great idea - to use lace lace to create a book of wishes for a wedding! The newlyweds choose the color of patterned sewing to their taste. As a rule, this is lace of pastel colors, which is glued to the dark background of the cover. But elegantly, glamorous and strict looks dark blue, snow-white or bright red lace against a contrasting background. The cover is completely covered with lace or glued with stripes, decorating the wedding album on top with a variety of decor.
Decorative flowers
Decorative flowers under the style of a wedding or a bride’s bouquet on the guest book will look stylish and original. They can be purchased in specialized stores for scrapbooking or made independently. Flowers and buds are cut from organza, silk or cambric, so as not to burden the cover with dense fabrics. They are made curved and soft, avoiding straight and hard lines. Flowers and buds are best done in the same color scheme, and it is advisable to use an identical fabric with the dress of the bride, avoiding variegation.
Alternatives to the wish book
If the newlyweds want to deviate from tradition, then you can come up with original alternatives to the wedding album, for example, make wishes from sea stones. Relatives and relatives on large pebbles are inscribed with an indelible marker, and then such an unusual wish is placed in a beautiful glass vase and kept by the newlyweds. After the wedding, these pebbles organically fit into any interior.
A bottle of congratulations is also in demand at modern weddings. It is done in two ways: wishes are left on small pieces of paper and thrown into an originally designed champagne bottle or written on pre-cooked corks, which are put together by guests in a huge glass glass. In the first version, the bottle is sealed, and the young people open it only on their anniversary - the first or fiftieth.
The most unusual option for wedding wishes is a puzzle. This is a good idea for puzzle lovers, as well as a great topic for drawing young people when guests assemble this puzzle. To create it, a lot of effort and time will not be required. It is necessary to order the manufacture of empty plates, which will subsequently be assembled into one picture. Plates are ordered on any subject with an empty back side on which wishes are written. An interesting idea would be a puzzle with a photo of the newlyweds.
