There is no such thing as a one task item at
Thingamabobs and Doodads!
Pack those kiddies lunches or….
Make a fabulous minibook!
We used four plain brown lunch bags to make this album.
MATERIALS:
Brown paper lunch bags – 3-6 work best
Ribbons and threads for binding cut to at least 15 inches. Truthfully, we usually eyeball it.
Coordinating papers and embellishments
HOW TO:
Fold each bag in half. Measure your “page” surface.
Our album measured 5 x 5 1/2
Adhere where shown, creating pockets
NOTE: only adhere one side of the inside of your bag or you won’t have a “pocket”
Punch holes where shown
(but don’t feel limited to just two holes…get creative!)
Cut enough paper to cover your pages, again our paper was cut to 5 x 5 1/2 to fit. Adhere to pages.
EMBELLISH!!!
Don’t forget about your pockets! Fill them with additional journaling, photo’s, or memorabilia from whatever fantastic event you have captured in your mini scrapbook.
Bind. Use your ribbon and threads to bind the book.
Remember, scrapbooking is ART, and there is no right way or wrong way to create ART!
Have fun!
