65 Scrapbooking Supplies: Homemade Paper
For a unique background, try using homemade paper. This will add a wild look to your scrapbook page and is especially nice for children's books and artwork.
You can make your own customized paper of any color and texture you want. This takes a bit of time and effort.
Alternately, soak a piece of cardstock. After a few minutes, crumple the paper a bit and then iron it flat again. This will closely approximate the appearance of homemade paper.
Homemade paper is also available at most crafts stores.
