Help!?
What can I use instead of a traditional scrapbook or stickers if I don't have them?
Use a sturdy three-ring binder or recycled cereal-box cardboard as pages and replace stickers from Step 11 with hand-drawn shapes or colored paper cut-outs glued in Step 9.
My drawings or summaries keep tearing when I cut them—how can I avoid mistakes in Step 7 and Step 8?
To prevent tearing and layout mistakes during Step 7 and Step 8, draw cutting lines lightly with a pencil, use child-safe scissors or a ruler and craft knife with adult help, and arrange pieces on a spare sheet before gluing in Step 9.
How can I change this activity for younger or older kids?
For younger children, simplify by choosing two or three books and having an adult write the one-sentence summaries from Step 3 and pre-cut drawings in Step 7, while older kids can expand Step 4 into a short review, add Step 5 quotes, and make a detailed table of contents in Step 13.
How can I make my scrapbook more unique before sharing on DIY.org?
Add personal touches like photo pockets or fabric swatches glued in Step 9, design a decorative title page in Step 12 with hand-lettering or collage, include page numbers for Step 13, and scan the finished book to share on DIY.org in Step 14.
