Sorry it's so late going up...I have spent several hours trying to find the Flip camera to film the video portion. My daughter hid it from my son and now no one knows where it is!
Here's the photo's for....
A Paper Bag Flip Album
Fold the the bottom of the bag (the section below the main body of the bag) around the bottom to the other side of the bag. This will create a pocket on each side of the bag when the outside edges of the flaps are adhered to the bag. The flaps will be attached to the bag body after the bag is covered with paper.
A chip board flange is added to the gusset of the bags to create a stable section to bind the mini with either rings or Bind-It-All coil binding. Cover the flange with paper. Adhere the flange (on both sides of the flange) to the inside of the bag gusset, aligning the bottom of the flange with the top of the flap pocket.
I used 6 bags for my album. Add your favorite papers and embellishments. Each bag has 2 large photo matte's (4 1/2" x 7 1/2") inside the bags and a smaller photo matte (4" x 6") or tags in the pockets.... lot's of room for photo's and journaling! You may need to adjust sizes for the bags you are using.
I will have the video up as soon as we find where the Flip is hiding....

Laura, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find the Flip camera.
Children.....gotta luv 'em! lol The bag album looks great! I love the idea of the flange. I also like the way the binder ring flange and the pockets frame the body of the pages on two sides. I think I'd like to try this. Guess a Michael's run is in order for more bags!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I cannot wait to see the video!
ReplyDeleteLaura, How cool you use the same papers I used to make my Favorite Aunt Betty's box (the first project from the 12 day's of Christmas) for her garden club pictures. Love making that box. I have maked three so far. Now I need to make me one. One for Hoilday Recipes, one for grand & great grand children for my dad and Aunt Betty's for her garden club. That is a really neat way to do the paper bag album. Thank you so much. Sheryl (samhearts@cox.net)
