A scrapbook is simply a decorated photo album that also preserves the stories behind the photos (called journaling), it can also hold memorabilia (tickets, certificates, letters, etc.). You might have a family album as well as smaller theme albums for vacations, home improvement or a baby’s first year. Some scrapbookers create an album for each family member, or even for their friends to make ordinary photo albums look awesome.

Making toys using your own imagination and hands has always been very popular. To my mind, even the most fastidious child will like a handmade toy, and it’s not only because it is made by his/her parent or relative. It is also a very original present, and none of your child’s friends will have the toy that looks just the same.

The last but of course not the least on my list today are decorations and bijouterie or costume jewelry. These types of handmade craft represent an amazing possibility to add something new to your home’s interior. The biggest advantage here is your potential saving in comparison with original accessories that are very expensive.
