If you are a loyal viewer of my YouTube videos, you will know that I am holding a (almost) 40k-subscribers-special giveaway!

It is my first giveaway, and is open for everyone to participate. However, I apologise that I am unable to provide more valuable and useful things in my first giveaway. In addition, my financial status does not allow me to choose more winners for this giveaway. Nevertheless, I hope that you guys will still enjoy participating in this giveaway! :-)

How it works:
You are to leave your comment on the photo uploaded on my personal account ONLY with these 3 information:

HAVE FUN!
Stay tuned for the upcoming tutorial!

If you are tired of plain, simple, cards or even box cards, I have something special for you today!

Let me introduce my own "DIY manual scroll scrapbook", which i'd actually call it "Scroll-in-a-box Scrapbook".

This craft is actually really simple, yet unique. It may look difficult to make because of its scrolling mechanism, but trust me, IT IS NOT! You will only need as short as 3 to 4 hours to make one of this.

So what is this craft's main feature?
Definitely needless to say - the scrolling mechanism.
You can create a timeline using this scroll to portray your heartfelt feelings with words, and photos, to your gift recipient. Or, you can simply use this like a scrapbook and add on your pictures & messages.
The special thing about this craft is that you can open up the box-holder (which you'll have to anyway), to roll up your scroll at the end of the day after finishing reading the scroll itself. It's not troublesome, actually. Think of it as a fun thing to do...
Well i'm sorry that I have no idea how to make it such that it'd retract back by itself... Hahahaha.

Another thing is that you can also make this manual scroll scrapbook slightly smaller, and include it in your box card as an element in the center. Or else, you can make your box card larger to fit your scroll element.
The cons of this craft is that you won't be able to stick on any 3D stickers or decorations in the scroll because you-know-why-with-common-sense, they will hinder the rolling up of the scroll and hinder the scrolling mechanism... How sad.

Nevertheless, this craft is still really fun to make, so why not give it a try?

To help you guys out, i've placed the materials list as well as templates below!

These are the templates for the scroll's holder (which is the black box). The second one shows the enlarged section for the middle segment with the cut-out rectangle

Note: the horizontal length for the 2 sections beside 10.5cm, is 6.5cm each. I missed out these measurement info there i'm so sorry!

*NOTE: SORRY FOR ANOTHER MISTAKE. The width of the cut-out rectangle should be estimated 7.9 ~ 8.1cm. I WROTE THE MEASUREMENTS WRONGLY BY MISTAKE, SORRY :-(

This is the template for the rectangle strip needed to wrap your scroll's body

This is the template for the paper scroll

Feel free to save the images!

Now that you have all that you need to make this manual scroll scrapbook, go ahead and watch the tutorial!
