Whether you’re a crafty-to-the-bone creative wizard or simply like to add a little DIY to your life every now and then, you can do it all – or even just a little – with our DIY Album, and end up with a beautifully handcrafted memento.
From the minimalist lover to lovers of creative layers, from photo albums with a personal touch to recipe books, guest books and so much more, our DIY Album will help you create the ultimate keepsake or meaningful gift, no matter what your style. And now they come in four beautiful colours – black, white, vintage rose and mint! Here are some beautiful ways to customise yours.
DIY Recipe Book
There’s something so special about a collection of favourite recipes, whether they be family meals passed down through the generations, experimental recipes or even snippets from blogs, Pinterest or magazines. For all the foodies out there, our DIY album is a beautiful way to display all your favourite recipes while tapping into your creativity at the same time.
Our Top Tips
- Create a family recipe book as the ultimate memento to treasure forever
- Include photos of your finished recipes. Use decorative tape to attach them for a special touch
- Create a contents page and number each page of your album for easy reference
- Why not try using adhesive notes or tabs to separate sections into snacks, main meals, desserts for example?
- Jot down special memories or notes as well as recipes. Make your album truly yours.
DIY Photo Album
As the old saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words, but in our increasingly digital world, many of our photos languish forgotten on our phones or computer where their true value can be lost. Why not set them free and keep your precious memories alive with a DIY Photo Album? The perfect, meaningful gift idea for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries or any other special occasion, a DIY album full of memories is something to treasure forever.
Our Top Tips
- Get creative with details using alphabet stickers and decorative paper tape

DIY Memory Book
There are few things more special than receiving a heartfelt note from a loved one, so what better way to show someone you care than with a gorgeous memory book full of personal, hand-written messages and memories?
