Paper Bag Album

Today we'll be making a paper bag album. It is REALLY simple and fun. You can whip one up in a jiffy!

1. Take 2 paper bags (you can do more if you would like more pages) and lay them on top of each other alternating the ends.
2. Fold them in half to create a book. Notice how the two open ends each form a pocket. Punch three holes along the spine. Set an eyelet in each hole & thread a couple of ribbon in each hole and tie off.

3. Decorate your album as desire. I just LOVE Let's Get Together Paper Packet from Close To My Heart so that is what I decorated my paper bag album with!
