Spring Fling - Paperbag 6x6 Minibook Kit!

Paperbags aren't just for carrying your lunch anymore!

You can make a fun & unique 6x6 paperbag mini album with our new Spring Fling Project Kit!

At the last retreat we attended our paperbag mini albums were quite a hit. We completely sold out of them over the course of a weekend! We can take a hint -- so we designed an all new paperbag minibook kit!

This album is great for displaying all your favorite Spring memories or it could be the perfect gift for the soon-to-be graduate in your life! The Spring Fling Project Kit has everything you need to complete the project - a paperbag mini album, coordinating papers, sticker letters, ribbon, and embellies. (even an exclusive T & D zipper flower!)

Crystal used her kit to show off all of her favorite Spring pics from 2009!

Reduce - Reuse - Recycle

It seems that here at Thingamabobs & Doodads we have been on a crafty kick of recycling everyday household items into all of our latest projects. We have used paperbags, playing cards, zippers and more - so why not keep with the trend?!

Join us this week for the Reduce - Reuse - Recycle Challenge! We will be showing off our recycled creations all week. We plan to take these items and turn them into something useful and pretty!

We challenge you to do the same! On Friday, we will have a Linky party for you to show off YOUR recycled creations!

Who knew that recycling could be so fun?!

It’s in the bag!

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
