Picking a good topic to make a coffee table book can be a challenge.
Here are five simple suggestions that focus on common areas of every day life to start your coffee table book thinking wheels turning.
Do you ever go to your friend's house and marvel at their cleverness, or you wished you had a talent like they've displayed? Well pine no more.
You too can make your very own conversational piece effortlessly.
Here are some good tips for choosing coffee table book topics..
A topic can be formulated easily by keeping a large manila envelope in the pantry or cupboard for mementos surrounding memorable events.
If you think you may forget which treasure went with which event, tag them with a date and trigger word.
These could be as small as a pebble your child picked up on a walk you took together, to as large as a napkin from a birthday party.
Stow away the treasures until you are ready to create your coffee table book.
Always include any pictures or cut-outs from magazines that remind you of each individual special event.
When you are ready to make up your coffee table book, and you have purchased the scrapbook or photo album to place the treasures in, lay these little memories out on a large flat surface.
It is helpful to arrange items in chronological order or in small groups if they are separate events.
Next, zero in on a funny thing that happened during each event.
It could be something so simple as your child splashing mud on the dog and making the dog look like he has a beard.
You will be able to easily come up with a title for this one such as: The Mud Puddle Caper.
Use that title to focus on a theme for your coffee table book.
5 Good topics to choose from will include: 1.
Children & Pets 2.
Trips 3.
Parties 4.
Weddings 5.
Hobbies Go through all of the mementos, trinkets and treasures you have gathered one more time and focus on what will constitute your main event.
Everything you gather from this point on will serve to compliment your theme.
You are finally ready to enhance your treasures with embellishments from cut-outs to frame the main event making your story magically emerge.
Strategically place the themed cut-outs or stickers to surround your trinkets until they spice up your theme adequately.
For a baby theme use photos of rattles and toys.
If you are talking about a memorable fishing trip, go through some fishing magazines and use boats for themes, fish finders, tackle boxes, and make a conversation caption or word-bubble with a funny joke about the one that got away.
