PaperBag Scrapbooking
Making paperbag books and mini scrapbooks is so simple even kids can do it.
In fact, these make great scrapbooking projects for children, tweens, and teens.
All it takes is a few simple brown paper bags, and you've got an adorable,
inexpensive, and heartfelt project/gift idea with limitless possibilities.
Instructions for making paperbag scrapbooking albums
Place 2 to 4 paperbags on top of each other, alternating open ends. Then fold
them in half and create your binding.
Options for paperbag binding
Staples about 1/2" from the fold. Then cover the staples with a strip of
coordinating patterned paper or cardstock.
Eyelets or rivets.
Punch holes and tie with ribbons, fibers, or fabric strips. You can tie knots
through each hole or weave the ribbon through the holes.
Sew a straight line straight through the fold.
"Open ends" of the paper bag
The open end of each bag makes a wonderful pocket for journaling or more photos.
Insert tags or additional cardstock "pages" into the open end of each bag. You
can even create unique embellished pulltabs with ribbons or cardstock tabs.
"Closed ends" of the paper bag
You have several choices for the closed end of each bag.
Lift the flap and use it for more photos and journaling.
Cut a slit through the fold of the bag and insert a coordinating tag.
Trim the closed end of the bag so it opens just as the open end of the bag does.
Cover the flap with paper or cardstock.
Now decorate however you like with photos, journaling, and embellishments,
including patterned paper, borders, squares, vellum, transparencies, silk
flowers, alphabets, fibers, ribbons, and fabrics.

Note: Paper bags are not acid-free, so make sure to use duplicate photos only.
