Melatih Kreativitas Melalui Scrapbooking

Meski sudah diterima baik, Indonesia cukup tertinggal dalam mempopulerkan hobiscrapbook, dibanding

Singapura misalnya. Padahal scrapbooking punya banyak nilai positif bagi anak. Seperti melatih keterampilan

motorik halus, melatih kesabaran, mendorong kemampuan berkreasi, belajar mengungkapkan sebuah cerita.

Scrapbooking yang kegiatan pokonya adalah menyusun foto atau barang atau tulisan dalam sebuah album, bisa

menjadi aktivitas bersama yang menyenangkan untuk ibu dan anak. Manfaat yang didapatkan kaum ibu umumya

menciptakan karya memorabilia bernilai sejarah keluarga. Karya scrapbook kalangan ibu menjadi warisan dari

kisah seru di keluarga yang bisa bertahan ratusan tahun lamanya.

Keterampilan motorik anak bisa dilatih karena mereka diajarkan mengunting, menjiplak dan keterampilan tangan

lainnya. Anak juga mulai membiasakan diri dengan komposisi warna dan corak yang nantinya bisa dipraktekkan

dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, papar Ina Himawan, pendiri kelas hobi scrapbook, My Scrapbook Ideas (MSI)

kepada Kompas Female.

Kemampuan bercerita bisa berkembang dalam diri anak melalui kegiatan scrapbooking. Karena aktivitas ini

membiasakan anak membuat jurnal dalam kreasinya.

Menurut Ina, hobi ini terus berkembang di Indonesia. MSI sendiri saat ini mempunyai sekitar 2000 konsumen.

Sejak 2007 membuka workshop scrapbook sekaligus menyediakan kebutuhan aktivitas scrapbooking, MSI

menjaring semakin banyak penggemar.

Penggemar scrapbook kebanyakan memang ibu muda kisaran usia 25 hingga 40 tahun. Namun banyak juga

anak dan remaja. Sebanyak 99 persen penggemar hobi ini memang perempuan. Para suami umumnya

memberikan dukungan, karena kegiatan ini bersifat positif, kreatif dan menghasilkan karya yang bisa diwariskan,

ujar Ina.

Ina menjelaskan, terdapat perbedaan antara kaum ibu dengan anak dan remaja. Umumnya, ibu dari segmen

menengah atas ini, menggunakan material asli untuk hobi scrapbook. Sedangkan kalangan anak dan remaja

biasanya menggunakan barang lokal. Lebih jelasnya menggunakan kertas yang tidak acid dan lignin free.

Akibatnya kertas mudah menguning dan tidak tahan lama.

Hobi yang bisa dipelajari ini tak sekadar mengisi waktu luang. Menurut ini, jumlah scrapbooker Indonesia cukup

banyak. Umumnya mereka mempromosikan kegiatan scrapbooking mereka melalui blog dan website.

Hobi scrapbooking ini bahkan bisa dijadikan mata pencaharian. Sudah banyak scrapbooker yang bisa

mendapatkan income dari hobi ini, dengan menjalankan bisnis, ungkap Ina.

MSI menjadi salah satu contoh bisnis scrapbook yang sukses, dengan membuka kelas scrapbook sekaligus

menjual kebutuhan hobi. Kelas workshop memang tepat menjadi titik awal mengenal scrapbook jika Anda

berminat.

MSI, misalnya, membuka kelas untuk empat hingga enam peserta. Jumlah ini cukup efektif mengingat adanya

keterbatasan tempat. Sebaiknya jika Anda berniat mengikuti kelas scrapbooking, pastikan jumlah peserta tidak

melebihi 20 orang.

Tertarik mengajak keluarga berkreasi sekaligus menggali potensi? siapa tahu Anda atau anak Anda berbakat

menjadi scrapbooker.

flowers, drawings, ribbons and other memorabilia into handcrafted scrapbooks or

albums.

The earliest mention of scrapbooks was in the 16th century. By 1700, people pasted

memorabilia into books, called common-place books.

The word scrapbook came about when people pasted on blank books brightly

colored scrap, a word used to describe newspaper articles, product labels and

greeting cards.

Some of the well-known scrapbookers were Queen Victoria, Presidents Thomas

Jefferson and Rutherford B. Hayes, Mark Twain and Andy Warhol.

Mark Twain was very much into scrapbooking. In fact he found a way to make

scrapbooks self-pasting and then in 1872, he patented the self-pasting scrapbook

idea and marketed it as Mark Twains Patent Scrapbook.

The use of scrapbooking materials like acid-free papers, stickers and other tools,

started in Utah in 1976 with the Christensen family of Spanish Fork, Utah, displaying

their 50 family albums at the 1980 World Conference of Record. This led the family to

open the first scrapbook store Keeping Memories Alive.

Scrapbooking is easy and anyone can do it! All you really need is a pair of scissors,

paper or a book, photographs or clippings, glue and a writing pen.

Many other indispensable essentials include stencils, cut-outs, stickers, stencils, die-

cutters, templates, photo corners, glue erasers, wire cutters, paper needles, pliers,

double-sided tape, background papers, multi-colored pens and the list goes on.

A personal scrapbook is just like a story book.

You can create different scrapbooks under various themes like childhood, birthdays,

graduations, weddings, anniversaries, recipes, baby showers, shoes and vacations.

If original photos are used in your scrapbook, it is a good idea to use translucent

interleaving, which will protect the photos over time.

Scrapbookers can also use photocopies of their original photos, documents and other

valued items so that the originals can be kept intact.

Invisible vellum tapes adhere well to photos and barely show behind sheer papers.

Avoid using magnetic pages whose glue can ruin photos over time.

Digital scrapbooking is simply scrapbooking without the glue, scissors and all the

other traditional scrapbooking stationery but uses the computer as a platform to

design and arrange your scrapbook using digital images, layout and many other high

resolution digital supplies. Scrapbookers have the option to print out their layouts to

put into albums.

negatives, layouts and albums. Look for cool, dry place to store your scrapbook albums

and photos.

of acidic material which can harm your photos. Make a photocopy of your newspaper

clippings ontoacid-free papers. So now you have the newspaper clippings in a safeformat for scrapbooking.If you really want to use the original newspaper clippings then be sure to seal them with

a de-acidifying spray, which make them safe for your scrapbook album.

acid-free and lignin-free? Do not assume that unless it's stated so on the packaging,

items, or somewhere. To keep your scrapbook layouts and photos lasting, buy acid-free

and lignin-free paper and cardstock.

Scrapbook Fact #5Do you know that your fingerprints can be damaging to photos? Before working on a

Scrapbook Fact #6Love using metal or acidic items for scrapbooking? Then you might want to consider

using photo duplicates rather than your original photos. So if corrosion or damage

happen, you still have your original photos on hand. Safeguard your originals.

Scrapbook Fact #7Using lumpy objects on your layout? Check to see if these objects are rubbing badly onto

the facing layout. You might want to make sure that it's not rubbing onto some precious

photos.Use duplicate photos because if you are using original photos, the constant rubbing will

harm your photos. Alternatively, choose a facing layout where the constant friction is onthe less important parts of the facing layout.

Scrapbook Fact #8Enjoy having a drink on your scrapping desk? Prevent disasters as liquids can destroy

your precious photos, negatives, layouts and scrapbook albums. Keep your scrapbook

albums and photos away from all liquids and store them away in cool, dry places. While

working on a layout, remember to keep your drink far away from your scrapping desk.

memorabilia? Avoid buying page protectors containing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) andpolyvinyl acetate (PVA). You can identify PVC by its strong plastic smell. PVC is unstable
