Paper Bag Brag Books

You Will Need:

• 3 paper bags (per book)
  
• Hole Punch
  
• Scrapbooking paper
  
• Ribbon bits
  
• Adhesive (glue stick, glue dots, tape runner, etc.)
  
• Embellishments (buttons, brads, rub-ons, stamps)
  
• Ink Pads (optional

Making the Books:

• Fold your paper bags in half
  
• Punch 4-5 holes along the crease of one folded bag, then use that one to mark and punch holes on the remaining 2 bags.
  
• Using a stamp pad or other inking device, ink the edges of your bags, front and back.
  
• Now get creative! Treat each side of your folded bags like a mini scrapbook page and paper, stamp and embellish to your heart's delight!
  
• Make large tags out of your left over odds and ends to stick into the 3 open bag ends in your book. Don't forget to put lots of ribbon on the ends to make it easier to pull them back out!
  
• To Finish, use your ribbon bits to tie your "pages" together into a cute little brag book that is ready for pictures, quotes, or whatever your heart desires!
