How to make a personal book for your much-loved newborn granddaughter…THIS POST WAS JUST TOO LONG, SO I DITCHED A LOT OF THE PHOTOS…
Items to gather or buy:
A board book to completely cover each page and make it your own
Strong-quality wrapping paper in decorative colors and designs that match your passion for the subject of your book
glue
scissors
several greetings cards to cut up into decorative pieces
personal photos printed out on plain paper (glues better than photo paper)
a simple story line, told like a fairy tale
Tips: Allow yourself to be messy, let each page be slightly flawed, just have fun and be filled with love!
Include several pages of photos of loved ones…..and then on the back, paste on a “made by…”
And, this is very important: Don’t be afraid to make a mess…
The End!
