Teacher: Make yourself a scrapbook.
Student: Should we buy ourselves scrapbook?
Teacher: No, you don't need to. You can use any notebook as your scrapbook. Even you can use your old used notebooks or you can bind newspaper to make yourself scrapbook. There is no restrictions / rules / objections for the notebook you use as scrapbook.
Is the conversation natural? Which word is correct in the last sentence?
Thanks.
Your main problem is the unnatural repetition of the word 'scrapbook'. Can you try to reduce this? Is the teacher talking to one student, or to the whole class?

My version of the same dialog.
Teacher: I'd like each of you to make a scrapbook.
Student: Do we have to buy one?
Teacher: No. You can use any notebook as your scrapbook. You can even use your old used notebooks, or you can make one by binding newspaper together. There are no restrictions on what you use as a scrapbook.
