mini scrapbook

We made these for activity days and it was so fun!

you need:
5 brown paper bags (we used the small skinny ones)
metal binding clip to attach all the bags together
ribbon
scrapbook paper
glue

put your bags together in whatever arrangement you want.. this one is staggered.
attach the clip to keep the book together
start with a strip of scrapbook paper, precut, on the outside page and glue (I used spray adhesive)
overlap around the edges of the bags and when it ends overlap more paper and keep going until it is all covered!

next stop.. embellish with ribbon around the middle and curl w/ your scissors.

last, but not least.. embellish more with cute letters, stickers, etc.. use as a photo book or whatever you want! endless possibilities :)
