Paper Bag Album Instructions
 If
you want to know how to make a paper bag album, you're at the right place.
I love Paperbag Albums! I've made quite a few so far for my
for my family and friends. Most of them feature my daughter Atiria in her first
few years. Yay!! All those millions of photos of her are put to good use. I've
also pre-made albums complete with embellishments for my friends where all they need to do is add the
photos and their own journaling and any other personal touches.
They are so easy to make and my favourite feature about them would have to be
that each paperbag provides cute pockets to hold extra tags and photos, or even
special memorabilia like ticket stubs, show programs, even paintings and
drawings.
You can use any size paper bags. I like to make an album
with 3 paperbags that measure
approximately 12"x6" This will create an album around 6"x6".
You can use much
larger or smaller bags as you see
fit. To make a super mini album use bags around 3"x3".
You can even purchase paper sacks in a variety of different colours. Although if
I want coloured bags I would simply paint them with acrylic paint.

Paperbag Album Tips
- I sometimes find it easier to decorate each page of the album before I bind it
together.
- Try different binding methods like, bind-it-all
o-rings, paper binding, metal binding clips, brads,
eyelets, book-rings, Japanese stab binding or ribbon.
- Try some of these great
Scrapbooking Journaling techniques, to help you when compiling your mini
album.
