ALBUM - NOTEBOOK FOR A BOY IN HIS FIRST YEAR OF LIFE

Send

The birth of a son is a great joy in the family. The appearance of the little man is a rather long-awaited event, responsible and joyful. A baby is born and learns the world from the first seconds of its life. After a nine-month stay in his mother’s tummy, a new world opens up for him, which is interesting, colorful and completely different from that in his mother’s womb. Accordingly, the baby’s mother, too, in a new way already feels and feels herself in the new status of the mother and feels responsibility and full custody of her newborn baby. And so, my son grows up every second, minute, day, month. It becomes completely different and interesting. At first they even celebrate his birthday every month, on the day he was born. And, of course, mom has observations on her son, which she wants not only to photograph, but also to record. For example, what were the first movements, sounds, words, how the baby gained weight and grew up, what he liked most to eat, what to play with, how his teeth grew, etc. You can list endlessly everything that a mother wants to mention about her baby, but, and it is better if she gets acquainted with this master class and makes such an interesting notebook-notebook for the first year of her baby’s life. It will be with interesting colored pages about everything that we have listed and is decorated with different beauties. Each mom can make it and keep interesting notes and paste photos of her baby.

Let's get started. We start by making the cover. Pages and sheets of white and blue cardboard should be 14.2 * 20 cm in size. A4 binder sheet is divided in half exactly and cut into blanks of 14.9 * 21 cm.

Now cut off the synthetic winterizer to the dimensions of the binding blanks.

Stripes of double-sided tape glue both sheets of synthetic winterizer.

Now take the fabric. We cut two cuts from each fabric 9 * 25 cm. We also cut two pieces of lace 25 cm long.

Lace will be sewn onto each other at the junction of tissue stitching. The fabric is well ironed with steam iron.

We sew two pieces of fabric on a typewriter, at first we sew mint lace, blue on top. Now we turn over the fabric blanks, put them with the pictures down and on top we put the binding blanks, padding polyester down. We smear the corners with glue stick first, wrap and glue.

On the front cover we try on a napkin, then a picture with a bunny, tinted around the edges with a small pillow.

We cut the rectangle from peppermint scrapbook paper measuring 11 * 14 cm, glue it first and sew it on, glue a napkin on it, and sew the picture with the bunny on top. We also sew both blanks at the edges.

Now for the cover we need to make the inner bookends from scrapbook paper, for this we cut out the rectangles of 14.7 * 20.7 cm. For pockets, cut out the scrapbook rectangles of 9 * 14.7 cm and 11 * 20.7 cm.

Punch both pockets. We will glue one pocket vertically, and the second horizontally. Glue a circle with a bunny, a picture and a metric on a vertical pocket.

We sew each picture with a machine, we mark the stripe borders at the top of the rectangle.

We coat the edges of the pockets with a glue stick and glue them on the bookends, we sew both bookends with pockets. We cut two pieces of satin ribbon into peas of 18-20 cm and glue on the inside of the center of the blanks on double-sided tape.

Now we glue bookends to the cover with adhesive with the effect of adhesive tape.

We put both covers under some kind of press, for about 30-40 minutes. In the meantime, go to the pages.

Consider the manufacture of one sheet, the rest will be collected by analogy. Cut circles with months. We take various die-cuts and cards with inscriptions, a printed sheet "I was born" and a white sheet of cardboard.

From the scrapbook paper we cut two rectangles 5 * 14.2 cm. On one side, both rectangles are hole punch.

Glue the card on the top, glue one at the bottom, the second at the top of the rectangle and sew the card and stitch the rectangles on the line.

Now we put together the printed page and the prepared sheet for the photo, you can glue a strip of double-sided tape between them. Sew along the edge of this double-sided leaflet. So by analogy we collect all the others. Thus, it turns out that on the one hand you can write notes, and on the other hand stick a photo of a baby measuring 9 * 13 cm.

We punch holes in the covers and insert the grommets.

All pages are ready, now they also need to be pierced. We take one sheet, put the cover on it.

We put marks with a pencil where we need to make holes.

We punch all the sheets and proceed to the assembly of our album. Thread rings onto the bottom cover, then string the sheets.

We put on the cover on top and fasten the rings.

We tie a side bow. Now decorate the cover on top.

We glue the cutting "Our baby", wooden decoration, buttons, flowers and half beads.

The album is ready! It turned out very interestingly designed and informative for both the baby and the mother. In this album you can save interesting notes and photos of the first year of the baby’s life. Thank you for your attention and good luck!
