I make these albums with the packing paper from my orders.
Along with some card candy or scrap candy this would be a great booking gift.
I thought of it when I kept seeing paper bag albums and I did not have any bags.
Then because of an article (along with several people) in the Sept 2006 SS about why we get so much packaging made me think I should make one and send it in.
So here it is.
To make, take one of the strips of paper and tear it at the perforations. These come in 8” intervals.
Now fold it the long ways making it a strip that is 4”x 30”.
Fan fold this strip.
You can make the pages the sizes you wish. In this album they are about 4x4 and I put 2 strips together to get the number (6) of pages I wanted in the album.
I then used the sewing machine and bound it with twill tape.
When you make these you will find that there are lots of natural pockets at the top to put tags, photos or memorabilia in.

Ugh! Just threw out a bunch! Will have to wait till the next order--dogs chewed up some nasty diapers and the diaps are on top. No way i'm going in there for some paper!
Going in the favs, so I have the directions.
