This is a great idea to make a special scrapbook page for the "first haircut." Between the ages of about 12 and 18 months, a baby or girl can go for their first haircut. You've probably seen that there are many children's hair salons that offer specials for a child's first visit. They have a special chair, they take a photo or even a video of the visit, and then you take off the photo or video and a lock of hair as a souvenir. So why not create a scrapbook page to celebrate this event in a special way? See Boy haircuts

Here are some tips to give your page a new angle. And of course these ideas could be reworked for all kinds of scrapbooking projects for kids.

Use homemade paper

For a unique background, try using homemade paper. You can make your own custom paper in any color and texture you like. This takes a bit of time and effort. Alternatively, try soaking a piece of cardstock. After a few minutes, wrinkle the paper a little and then iron it again. This will be very close to the appearance of homemade paper.

Painted tissue paper

Painted tissue paper can add a colorful touch to your child's "first haircut" scrapbook page. To paint tissue paper, punch or tear pieces of tissue paper in various shapes. Then, using watercolor pencils and a wet brush, coat the tissue paper well. Now dip the painted tissue paper in a mixture of scrapbooking glue and water and place it on white card stock.

Let the pieces dry completely. Use dry-colored tissue paper as a background, border, or fancy embellishment.

Accounts

Beads are another way to add color and design to your page. Beading can be as simple as gluing a few beads onto a scrapbook page or as complex as a stitched bead design. When arranged in an abstract pattern, they can create a childish effect, or carefully arrange them to make a fun title or artistic design.

Beads, microbeads and necklaces can be attached with double sided tape or Xyron adhesive.
