A newborn baby grows very fast. Literally every day you notice some changes in his appearance, behavior, development. During the first year, the child grows and changes a lot. Therefore, mom and dad try to capture all the most interesting moments in photographs. And it has already become a tradition to keep pictures of the first year of a little man's life in a separate album. This item must be very beautiful, original and, of course, unique. Only an album for a newborn, made with love, can meet these requirements. We will provide you with interesting ideas and useful tips for its implementation.
Cover
Children's albums for newborns are always in use: they are viewed by parents with a baby, shown to relatives and friends, replenished all the time with new pictures. It is expected that this item will be kept for many years, and maybe even passed down from generation to generation. So,when thinking about how to make a do-it-yourself album cover for a newborn, consider the fact that it must be solid and durable. Usually it is made of thick cardboard. If you don’t have one, you can glue several sheets of ordinary stationery together. Next, the cover needs to be decorated. To do this, you can use wrapping paper with bright children's prints, stickers, funny pictures from books or just beautiful wallpapers. Glue a photo of the child in the center of the cover. You can name the album with the name of the baby or one of the following options: “Little Princess”, “Our little man”, “Our candy kids”. These are just hints, and you can come up with your own original name. With your own hands, you can (and very much even need to!) Laminate the cover with a wide adhesive tape. This will protect the item from contamination and extend its life. As additional decorative elements, you can use lace, ribbons, rhinestones, fabric applications.
Pages
For page design, select thick paper or cardboard. Sheets can be made in different colors, decorated with applications, stickers, inscriptions. Attaching photos can be done with PVA glue or pre-made corners. Do not use silicate glue in your work, it turns yellow over time and spoils the appearance of the pictures. Each page can be themed. For example, an album for a newborn boy may include pages decorated with boats,airplanes, cartoon characters (gnomes, Dunno, Pinocchio). For little princesses, the theme of the album should be appropriate, with the image of Cinderella, Malvina, Thumbelina, with flowers.
Binding
When making a DIY album for a newborn, consider a reliable way to connect the pages. There will be a lot of them, so the product will turn out to be voluminous. Mounting can be done as follows:
- Tie all sheets with ribbon, after piercing them with a hole punch.
- Insert the spring. You can buy it at a craft store or take it off an old notebook. For this fastening, you must first make holes on all sheets.
- Connect the pages with rings. They can also be removed from the storage folder.
How and what to put in an album?
The most convenient way is when all the photos and entries in the album are placed in chronological order. Therefore, a strip from a pregnancy test can be glued on the first page, then a photo of the ultrasound of the fetus. The next few sheets can hold tags from the hospital, snapshots of the first minutes of a baby's life. Well, then there are pages dedicated to each month of life. Do not forget to leave a place where there will be sections: “I am growing” (graph of height and weight), “Baptism day”, “First trip”, “My first tooth”, etc. In addition to posting photos, write down the achievements of the baby, paste the prints of the arms and legs, the first drawings, even if they are ordinary “scribbles”. And, of course, prepare a few pages wherephotos and information about the celebration of the 1st year will be issued.
Such an album for a newborn, made with your own hands, will remain a good memory for you and your child for many years to come. Creating such products is a very exciting activity. In the future, as the crumbs grow up, you can make other thematic albums, for example, Kindergarten, Seaside Rest, First Time in First Class, etc. Beautiful pictures and original albums to you!
