Refashion lunch sacks to hold memories instead of sandwiches.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
HOW IT’S DONE:
1
Fold. Fold each bag in half, so that your pages will be 6 by 6 inches. Use a manila folder or the edge of a spoon to make the fold nice and sharp.
2
Arrange. Open the bags flat and lay them one on top of the other, open end to closed end. Then fold the pile in half, and you’re ready to decorate each set of pages.
3
Decorate. It’s a good idea to work on each two-page spread in the book form, so you don’t accidentally glue the decorative papers to the pages in the wrong order.
4
Bind. When the pages are complete, bind the book by wrapping colored cord, yarn or ribbon around the inside center of the book; tie it in a knot and a bow along the outer spine. Finish by adding your photos, journaling and memorabilia.
