A guest book is a spot where memories could be recorded when friends and family came to visit - this DIY version includes a free printable.

When we moved into our new house, I knew that I wanted to have a guest book for my house.  I wanted to have a spot where memories could be recorded when friends and family came to visit.  Even better is having my guests point of view and their handwriting recorded.  The guest book has a spot to also add a photo from the visit.

Below is step by step directions on how to make your own guest book for your home, but first let’s talk about pens. 

As a scrapbooker, list maker, and homeschool mom, I rely heavily on my pens.  I love using erasable FriXion® ColorSticks because they have smooth writing gel ink, with vibrant ink colors, and erase cleanly.  I always have my guests use FriXion® ColorSticks by Pilot Pen in my guest book, so that they are not afraid of making a mistake.  My guests can have infinite do-overs with the ability to write, erase, and re-write.

Guest Book 

To make your own guest book for your home, you will need white cardstock, this free printable for the pages and cover, binder rings, hole punch, paper trimmer or scissors, and FriXion ColorSticks by Pilot Pen.

Start by printing the cover and as many inside pages as you would like.  I printed 7 pages which gave me 14 individual pages.  You can always print additional inside pages if you need to.

Next, cut the pages in half and punch two holes through each page for your binder rings.  Tip: use your first hole punched page as a guide for the remainder of your pages.

Add your binder rings and then start filling up the pages with pictures, memories, and notes.
