School Days Paperbag Album

Good morning! Today I would love to share with you a paperbag mini album I made using the Back 2 School stamp collection.



Materials -
Back 2 School Stamps
3 x Lunch Bags {approx. 6" x  12"}
Whiff of Joy Dies - Clouds & Sweet Tag
Patterned paper
Embellishments - Ribbon, Lace, Brads, buttons, etc
Border Punch


Step1 - Taking the 3 lunch bags lay them on top of each other with the middle one facing in the opposite direction so that you have 2 openings on one end and one opening on the other end. These openings can be used for inserting photos, journalling, grade results, etc. 

Once they are lined up, machine stitch them down the middle and fold them in half



Step2 - Prepare the front page of your album as desired. 


Step3 - Apply a line of double sided tape or other adhesive in the centre of the front bag, all the way out to the edge. Adhere your ribbon. I bring it almost the full width of the bag to make sure it is secure.  Repeat on the back.


Step4 - Adhere both front and back pages and set aside while you work on the internal pages. 



Step6 - Prepare all of the internal pages ensuring your papers are cut to size first. Once they are all completed stick them down to the lunch bags. 




Use your stamps and dies to add detail to your pages





And that completes your album. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial. Don't forget to link up here or add your album to the Whiff of Joy Facebook group if you are inspired to make one.
