Show & Tell - paper bag albums
I posted these paper bag album photos in the Fisk-A-Teers gallery today and there was a lot of inquiries. Here’s some more pictures and details on how to make these fun albums.
For these albums I used 3 lunch sack paper bags, purchased from the grocery store. I lined up the bags so 2 of the bags had the open end out {giving me 3 pockets once the album is folded}. Next I picked out my papers and measured the paper to be the same size as the paper bag length-wise. The paper was adhered with a tape runner. Once all the bags had paper I folded them in half and scored to make the album. Next I used a heavy duty hole punch to make the holes in all the bags. Ribbon was used to tie them together. For the pockets, I used a punch to create tabs. Those were adhered with a stapler, eyelets or glue. Tucked inside the pockets is a cardstock tag. To finish off the album I used a corner rounder on the edges. This is an easy project, great for beginners. This was the very first project I attempted when I began paper crafting. There a several great online tutorials on how to create these albums. Check out this one from the Scrapbook-Crazy site.
