Once you know what items to look for, which farm animal embellishments for scrapbooks are best? It depends a great deal on what type of scrapbooking you do. Digital scrapbooks may feature embellishments such as templates, while paper scrapbooking will rely on tried-and-true accessories such as quilling paper, stickers and stamps.
- Paper punches: Punches in the shapes of pigs, cows and chickens will instantly give your scrapbook a farm feel. You can place them anywhere on the page, as well as using edge punches to create shapes around the borders.
- Stickers: Flat and dimensional stickers featuring any kind of animal you can imagine are common. Look for sticker packs designed with a farm theme in mind.
- Quilled shapes: If you know how to quill paper, you can create just about any farm animal you like with a few turns and folds. Pigs and chickens are great beginner shapes since they start with a round base.
- Paper: Background papers featuring farm life themes and animals are easy to find. It can be tough making a decision with so many choices, so your best bet may be to first come up with a color scheme for your book.
- Stamps: Rubber and acrylic stamps are easy to use. You can change the look of your stamped animals by using different colored inks or by coloring the images in with brush pens.
