Creating a garden scrapbook can be a very rewarding hobby if you're a garden lover. W hether your interest is the expansive kind of garden with space for vegetables, flowers and trees, or the smaller balcony type where a cute container garden can enhance your outdoor living space, are for everyone. Which is why a personal garden scrapbook can add to your pleasure and keep a record for all time. And it's a creative occupation that kids love as well as grown ups. Flowers are one of the popular natural-based elements that many people cherish.  You can store flowers in a scrapbook to craft a garden style creation.  To start you will need a dried flower.  Compress the flower placing it into your scrapbook pocket, such as the memorabilia.  Next, glue, tape, etc, the flower so that it is sticking on the page securely. You may have seen flowers preserved in bibles.  The process in scrapbooks is similar, only you want to stick the flowers so that it does not fall out

Craft ideas are usually geared to individuals, whether kids or adults.   Sometimes you'd like to have a craft idea that works for a group of kids working together.   Making a mural together is an idea that works for a group.   By working together, you are creating something to decorate a shared area.   Individual crafts can be displayed, but one unique item is often more effective than a group of items that are almost identical.   In addition, sometimes kids' crafts, like it or not, just become clutter when they are taken home, and it isn't long before Mom throws it out.   This craft idea of making a group mural can be displayed for several weeks and will not become clutter in anyone's home. The basic materials for a kids' group mural is freezer paper.   Freezer paper is about 18 inches wide, and it is very tough.   One side is plastic coated.   That is the side that is designed to be placed against the food.   You will have better luck drawin
