Materials You will need:
- 3 Paper bags
- Hole Puncher
- Ribbon, eyelets, book rings, or fibers
- Your favorite pattern paper
- A bunch of your favorite embellishments
I also love the ready made built-in pockets that are formed when you put your paper bag album together. These pockets are great for storing mementos, cute tags, journal blocks, or any other keepsake.
Here's the paper bag album after it's put together and ready to decorate. Now it's time to make your pages.
With your paper trimmer cut enough patterned paper to cover each page. I cut each paper piece at 5" x 5.5".
Adhere each of your papers to the front cover and each page of your album. Also make sure to cut and adhere some photo mats or pockets to store journal tags. You can also ink the sides to make the mats stand out.
I add my ribbon last after I make sure all of my patterned paper and embellishments are sturdy and secure. Add different color and textured ribbon to make it more colorful.
How cute is this !!
Tomorrow we have our Executive Reveal with Jan, our DT coordinator. Her eyes are still in shock with the bright colors she worked with !

This is how one of my pages looks with journaling tags. I made the pocket with patterned paper.
Now it's time to embellish. I used various embellies from Me & My Big Ideas.
I add my ribbon last after I make sure all of my patterned paper and embellishments are sturdy and secure. Add different color and textured ribbon to make it more colorful.
Decorate your pages any way you want. It's best to use coordinating papers that match well together. I used paper from a ColorBok kit so that all the papers would go well together. Here are 2 of my pages in a side by side view.
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today. Now it's your turn to create something fun using paper bags.
