This is something I talked to a friend about quite awhile ago and just took forever in getting around to doing it.Here is how to make a fun scrapbook out of paper lunch bags. I have a bunch laying around from when my kids were in school and I just never could bring myself to throw them away. I saw this cool idea somewhere and tried it myself. This would be a great project for vacation bible school or girl scouts, etc etc.
Paper bags
Push the end out
Cut along the fold around the bottom with straight scissors
Go back and cut both ends with fun pattern scissors for a neat look
Fold in half
Punch two holes on the folded edge approximately 1 inch from each side and 1/2 inch from the fold
I like to put hole protectors to support the holes so they don't rip out

Use notebook rings or ribbon to tie all of your cut, folded, and punch bags together
Now you have great little pockets to put your photos, concert tickets, and other memorobilia in
Now just decorate the outsides of the bags anyway that suits you and the theme of your new thrifty scrapbook! Inexpensive and fun for kids and adults! A GREAT green project!
