November Family Tree Projects- Paper Bag Album

Supplies: Trimmer, Scissors, Adhesive, Ink Pad,
Pictures, Lunch Sized Paper Bags, Hole
Punch or Crop-A-Dile


1.) Cut patterned paper into squares measured to fit
bag size leaving some of the bag edge showing.

2.) Place one paper bag on top of the other with open
sides in opposite directions. Fold in half.

3.) To punch holes along spine, measure ½ inch down
from top edge and ¼ inch from spine. Mark with
a pencil and continue to measure next 4 holes at 1
inch apart. This could vary depending on size of
bags.

4.) Punch holes where marked with the Crop-A-Dile
or a hole punch.



5.) Cut each ribbon and/or fibers 5 ½ inches long and
tie through the holes.



6.) Ink edges of patterned paper if desired and adhere
to album pages including the front and back
covers.
7.) Mat pictures if desired and adhere to each page.

8.) Add embellishments.

9.) Be sure to use the pockets! Cut patterned paper
the same size and adhere 2 sheets back to back for
additional picture space. You could add a piece of
ribbon or a tag on the end for easy pulling!

These are quick and easy albums to make! You can have as many pages as you desire depending on how many pictures you want to use. I often use them for creating a theme album of a particular event I want to remember! Elizabeth
