Here is a fun paper bag album I made with the plan to put pictures of my youngest son and all his goofy faces and costumes he used to make when he was little. I am thinking since the paper and so bold and bright I will print all my pictures black and white.
To make the album, just fold paper bags in half (I used lunch sacks) and alter the openings on the ends so they are every other one. Then I just sew down the center and cover each page, making pockets as I go.
I use Tombow's Mono Adhesive Power Bond to adhere the papers to the bag and Stamp Runner Permanent Adhesive to adhere paper to paper.

When I'm done decorating I tie ribbon to the center and add tied knots to the outside of the album.
I hope this fun project inspires you to try a paper bag album. Ü

ReplyDeleteOh dearest Debbie,

What a blessing you are to have sent something even when you knew I wasn't going to participate in the 'Nest Swap'.....thank you so much....you have no idea how that just made my day! Blessings!
This is great! I so want to make one of these some day.
