I want to make a paper piece scrapbook for my granddaughter. They use paper bags, ribbon, scrapbook paper, stickers, flowers, etc. Thanks for your help!

Does anyone have a pattern or instructions for making paper piece scrapbooks using paper bags, ribbon, etc.?
Here are some asy to use directions~





Paper Bag Album Instructions





You can use any size paper bags. I like to use 3 paper bags that measure approximately 12"x6" that will create an album around 6"x6". you can use much smaller bags to make a super mini album around 3"x3".





Check out some paper bag albums examples


Try an accordion tag album - really quick and easy to make

Basic Paper Bag Album instructions - Step by step directions


Materials


- 3 Paper Bags (any size)


- Hole punch tool


- Eyelets, book rings or ribbon to bind


- lots of good stuff to cover and embellish your pages





1. Take your 3 paper bags and lay them on top of each other alternating the ends.





2. Fold them in half to create a book. Notice how the three open ends each form a pocket.


Punch three to five holes along the spine.





3. Set an eylet in each hole and / OR thread a couple of lengths of ribbon or fibre (or a combo of both!) through each hole and tie off.


4. Decorate your album as you choose using a variety of papers, embellishments, ribbon and any other creative elements in your scrapbooking stash.


5. Create at least 3 large tags slightly smaller than the album itself to fit into the three pockets formed by the paper bags. Use them to hold extra photos or journalling.
Reply:Use an odd number of paper lunch sacks. We've used 3 and 5. Fold and glue the bottom 'flap' down to make both sides of the bag a 'full' surface. Then fold the sacks in half and stack with the 'open edge' half down except for the bottom sack. flip it so the open edge is on top and thicker side on bottom. Punch 3 to 5 holes on the folded sides evenly spaced. thread and tie ribbons through the holes and tie in square knots. Ribbon lengths of about 6 to 7 inches works well. The bags can also be bound using eyelets (use only 3 bags for this). Decorate bags any way you wish using scrapbook paper and embellishments. To make tags or pullouts, measure the available size for the pockets and tri-fold a long piece of paper or cut tags to match theme. I have made these with girls as young as 5. The bags can be painted, decoupaged, etc before you bind them if you want to get fancy. GOOD LUCK!!
Reply:Take brown paper bags lay on top of each other, fold, and then staple to make book glue the open ends of the bag shut and then embellish with photos paper ribbon etc. i like to decorate the spine with ribbon or fringe to hide staples
