Paper bag album:
Supplies needed:
lunch paper bags
Cardstock
Patterned paper
ribbon
 
 
1.  I used 3 bags for the baby book.  Lay them flat and alternate the ends, so the folded bottoms are not all on the same side.
 
2.   Fold your bags in half.  My hole punch isn't strong enough to punch through all bags at once.  I hole punch the first bag, then I insert the second bag using the punched holes  to mark where the holes should be.  Remove the second bag and hole punch on the marks.  Repeat with third bag.
 
3.  Another option is to sew your bag.
 
4.  Folding all your bags, thread your ribbon through the punched holes. 
 
I added Cardstock and Patterned paper to all the pages.  I also made inserts to slide into the open ends that used to be the top of the bag.  These are full pull outs to place photos, or other things you collect along the way.
 
This is the finished product. 
 
Supplies:
 
All cardstock from Die cuts with a View
Stickers from Miss Elizabeth - The Dollar Tree
Ribbon from Micheals
Foam Stamps from MM
Tag on the front from my office supplies
 
 
 
 
 
Experiment, and have fun.  The possiblities are endless.  You can view some of my other paper bags in my gallery.
