How to Make a Paperbag Scrapbook

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Monday, June/24/2024

1). Determine how many pages you want in the book. Each bag is folded in half and will create four single-sided pages. Base the number of bags you use on the desired number of pages.
2). Fold each lunch bag in half. Folding them individually gives a more precise fold.
3). Place the bags inside one another to create the basic scrapbook shape. Alternate the side of the pages where the bottom of the lunch bag ends up. This gives the scrapbook variety.
4). Punch three to four holes along the folded edge. Tie ribbon through the holes to create the binding for the scrapbook.
5). Embellish the scrapbook pages as you would a normal scrapbook. Use decorative scrapbook paper to create frames for photos. Add journaling and captions to go along with the photos.
6). Use the open ends of the bags as pockets to hold memorabilia related to the pages. Another option is to cut out large tags from decorative paper or card stock that will fit inside the pockets. Add photos or journaling to these tags for additional scrapbooking space.
