Why Friendship Diary is Important?
Well, as discussed above, clicking pictures and writing a journal has so many limitations. But creating a best friend diary proves to be the best alternative to these as it assimilates the features of both, pictures and journal into itself.
Now you might be thinking, how? If that is the case, then let me explain it to you.
In a friendship diary, you not only write detailed accounts about your relationship with your friends but also stick pictures in it, explaining the significance of the moment. Moreover, you can preserve your friends’ thoughts about you and ask them to sign the photographs.
Furthermore, in a friendship diary, you can write what you and your friends like and dislike and the similarities and differences between you and them. In addition, you get the option to decorate your diary using decoratives like colourful pens, beautiful covers, watercolours, etc.

How to Create Your Friendship Diary
Well, a friendship diary is also known as a scrapbook which is easily available in stationery shops. However, I wouldn’t recommend buying your best friend diary from a shop, instead, you can create your diary using DIY.
Creating a DIY diary will not only give you options to customise it but also let you unleash your creativity. Moreover, when you create something from scratch and work hard to make it according to your needs, you feel connected to that thing.
I hope whatever we discussed is clear to you, let’s find out how to create your diary about friendship:
Well, to create a friendship diary, you need to have blank unruled papers with 150-200 gsm. If you don’t possess these, then you can get them from a stationery store. After that, you need to compile them in a single piece, stitch them together, and then affix a hardcover using cardboard or some other material.
Once these things are done, decorate the cover of your best friend diary using colourful pen, tape, glitter and whatever else you wish to use. Moreover, you can consider decorating its first page by writing a poem or dedicating a few lines to your friends. Additionally, you can paste a group picture of your gang.

How to Fill Your Diary
Begin filling your diary with your best friend’s details. Write what you like about her, your first meeting, what are your wishes for her, and a lot more things that you wish to write about. Apart from this, paste the valuable pictures related to both of you and mention the context and how you feel about them.
Furthermore, to make your diary look more attractive, you can compile everything in order, refrain from making any errors and decorate it using colourful pens. Also, spare some pages for your friend to write whatever she wishes to add and don’t forget to take her signature.
Once it is done, move further and create pages on your other important friends, and repeat the same process that is mentioned above.
