How to Make a Cheerleading Scrapbook

Whether you are completing a full season of cheerleading, returning home from a cheer camp, or looking for a special gift for your coach or team captain, a cheerleading scrapbook is a great way to preserve those special memories. Any basic scrapbook can be turned into a cheerleader's scrapbook through the use of custom stickers, supplies and plenty of spirit. Cheerleading scrapbooks make wonderful end-of-year gifts for each member of the team as well.

Instructions

    • 1

      Select a scrapbook to use. Any plain scrapbook will do, but specialty scrapbooking stores also carry albums designed to look like megaphones.

    • 2

      Choose the photographs you want to feature. Don't forget to include the team photo and an individual cheerleader photo if the album is for a specific cheerleader. Select a mixture of candids and posed photographs.

    • 3

      Locate newspaper clippings to include in the scrapbook. Pictures or mentions of the team's success in tournaments or championships in the school or local paper make interesting background pages.

    • 4

      Include programs from pep rallies for a school cheerleading album, or a camp brochure or schedule for a camp album. Include both for an album that covers a cheerleader's entire career.

      Lay out the book. Alternate pictures and text. Include cheer-themed stickers and artwork, and caption as many photos as you can. If possible, include a page with autographs from cheerleading squad teammates. Use award patches to decorate some pages in place of stickers.

      Decorate the outside of the book. If you won your camp's spirit stick, glue it to the spine of the book as a decorative handle. Use school colors, foam megaphones and streamers to help make the scrapbook stand out.
