What you need to create various products using scrapbooking

Scrapbooking means scrapbook album. Since the moment when the first such albums were presented to the world, there has been a tremendous leap in this direction: today hardly anyone can call amazingly beautiful products a scrapbook.

A beginner will not immediately determine from what materials and in what ways such a charm can be created

If scrapbooking fascinates, then it's for a long time. But you should be aware that such a hobby is not cheap.

What tools and materials will be needed: a minimum set

Before deciding to buy tools, you should find out where you can get them. Someone uses a well-known Chinese site, someone orders what they need from online stores.If there are shops for handicrafts and Handmade in your locality, there is a chance that a lot will be immediately found there.

Consider a New Year's card. What materials does it consist of, and what tools were used in the work? Not everyone will immediately name all the elements and tell how it is done.

So what do you need to prepare for the creative process?

1. A set of scrap paper for the desired theme. It is not necessary to purchase paper as a set, there is always an opportunity to pick up prints as you wish. The density of the paper also differs, as does the size of the sheet.
2. Simple pencil, eraser, ruler.
3. Figured hole punch. There are many of them, the function of each is to make a certain element from a sheet of paper: a flower, a leaf, a spruce twig, a snowflake, a star, beautiful openwork edges.

4. Curly scissors. These are scissors with a carved edge. The cut produces very beautiful edges.
   

   Cut edges can be used as decorative elements

5. Metal cutters will be very helpful in the work. But they need a special rolling tool. If you are planning to make one or two postcards, then you should buy ready-made acrylic die cuts with a suitable pattern.
   

   Metal cutters are reusable and come in a variety of options

   

6. Decor elements: beads, pebbles, buttons, brads, buckles, lace, braid, ribbons, ready-made flowers and figurines.
