- 1). Cut acid-free paper, available from craft and scrapbook stores, to the desired size of your pages. Generally, memory books have one photograph per page, so making the pages 2 inches larger than the pictures you are using is sufficient. Add 1 inch extra to the pages on the side where the book's spine will be.
- 2). Stack the pages on top of one another. Punch two holes through all the sheets, placing the holes Âľ inch in from the spine edge. Place one hole 1 inch up from the bottom of the pages and the other hole 1 inch down from the top. You may need to punch through a few sheets at a time, as a hole puncher cannot handle a large stack of paper.
- 3). Cut out two pieces of heavy card stock that is ½ inch wider and longer than your page sheets. These are the covers.
- 4). Place the pages between the card stock covers, and mark the location on the covers for the holes. Punch the two holes in each cover.
- 5). Line up the holes in all the pages and the covers. Pass a length of ribbon or twine through the punched holes and tie it in an attractive bow on the front of the memory book.
- 6). Place photographs inside the book on a single side of each page. Attach the photographs with double-sided, acid-free scrapbooking tape, or use adhesive photo corner mounts.
