Making a DOG SCRAPBOOK for Your Miniature Schnauzer

A dog scrapbook or memory album is a great way to show off your lovable Miniature Schnauzer to family and friends.

And it’s not only easy to do it’s a fun dog craft project for kids and just the whole family!

dog craft project tip: Be sure and start this project as soon as possible! Especially if your Miniature Schnauzer is still a puppy. They grow up super fast and you'll want to capture these precious moments of time.



Start with an empty shoe box, for example, and begin placing any little item that says something about your Miniature Schnauzer in it.


Items for Your Dog Scrapbook Album

Scrapbook
Dog Themed Kits


  • photos
  • drawings
  • paw prints *
  • piece of fabric from favorite toy / blanket
  • copy of pedigree papers
  • Old dog tag
  • puppy teeth
  • birth record
  • a piece of fur
  • record of accomplishments
  • cards received
  • journal memorable moments
  • short stories
  • dog quotes

*dog craft project tip: You can create your schnauzer's paw prints by using washable non-toxic finger-paint. Simply sponge some of the paint on the bottom of pads. Have your schnauzer walk across a piece of construction paper or doily. Then rinse the remaining paint off his paws!




Take Lots of Pictures


Take lots and lots of photos of your Miniature Schnauzer. ESPECIALLY of your Miniature Schnauzer puppy’s 1st year. They grow up so fast!

Include vacation photos, outdoor play time photos, photos of your Miniature Schnauzer's 1st birthday and your Schnauzer's 1st Christmas. Even get pictures of your Miniature Schnauzer with his vet or learning a dog trick, having his 1st bath or grooming and include them in your Miniature Schnauzer's dog scrapbook.

And your scrapbook will really 'bark' if you use 'action shots' or photos that tell a story. These type of pictures are way more entertaining than just posed photos of your Miniature Schnauzer.
