Use any container.

You can use whatever you want as a container. Whatever you do, please do not bury the time capsule. Read more about this topic here. We are going to explain how to make your own themed DIY time capsule with any decorations, paper, markers, and photos you want to make it artistically beautiful enough to display on a shelf.

With all the guilt and shame there is put on a parent for not taking the time to make a nice photo album or scrapbook, we encourage you instead to preserve memories in a quick and easy scrapbook project way with the DIY time capsule. Just decorate the outside, then simply drop in the child’s favorite items from a special year in their life. Then, on a date of your choosing, have the child open their own DIY time capsule and reminisce what it was like at that milestone moment time in their life.

Make it a party.

Gather friends and family over to have a quick and easy scrapbook project party, while decorating your DIY time capsule. You can all use each other’s supplies for decorating so you do not have to buy everything. Look for sales and coupons to local scrapbook stores, and purchase construction paper, scrapbook background paper, scrapbook project embellishments, special scissors, glue, etc.

Save all of your paper scraps and use them to punch or cut out other designs, borders for photos, or making different shapes. Be creative and use cookie cutters to trace around your photos or to make paper designs to put on the outside of your DIY time capsule. You can also use those greeting cards you have saved in a box to decorate the outside of the time capsule. Find one with a special quote that sums up your child’s life, and glue it to the outside of the DIY time capsule.

Decorate and then fill the time capsule. 

If you have a computer or access to the internet, print off any photos you want, using the included photo sticker paper included with each any occasion DIY time capsule. You can also use the online designer on our website, or find free fonts, clip art, layout ideas, and other scrapbook items online to print and use to decorate the outside of your DIY time capsule.

You can also write on the outside of the time capsule. For example, if you are making a school time capsule, you could have each student in the class sign the outside. Don’t forget to add the do not open until date on the lid of your time capsule. Whatever you do with your DIY time capsule, have fun.
