Thank you so much!! I have watched several paper bag album videos today and this has been my top pick!! Great presentation with clear and understandable instructions.
Oooooo....this actually looks a lot simpler than I thought it would be. It will make a great place to store cards and tags for my junk journals. Thanks
Helen, when I went on holiday to Florida last year I found a Michaels. All I can say is wow! I could have spent all day in there! So much choice. We definitely need Michaels to come to the UK!! Love your projects x
This is the tutorial I followed. Love it. I was afraid. I have been wanting to make an album. I've been using the pre-made ones from Prima Memory Hardware but was afraid to mess up. I'm free now. I'm decorating my paper bag album and loving it. Thank you so very much!!!!!
Love this album. I love albums but have been afraid to try them again because I guess the one I was doing was a bit complicated it said it was a beginner tutorial but I got lost and tried about three more times and really messed up a lot of paper. But I think I will try this one. It looks to be really simple but I wish you could have finished decorating this one. I love ❤️ it. TFS, Ms. Helen.
I live in the U.S, we have 5 Michael's shops here and let me tell you, I even have a hard time getting the celebrate it bags...!!! I finally, FINALLY just got 3 packs, white black and craft, and they only had one of each...!!! So I understand your want and need...!!! 😂😂😂 Great tutorial...!!!
I now also have a few packs that one of my subscribers kindly sent me from Canada! They are almost too special to use, so I am planning something special for them :) Treasure your hoard!
Congratulations on your Golden award!!! I love this video! I am a "newbie" in this crafting world. I was in the process of making a photo album then I broke my hand.? Did you know there are 27 bones in the human hand? I found out the hard way. Just can't keep a good woman down.
Many thanks, Patti :) This was one of the first paperbag albums that I made. Hope your hand heals well - my daughter recently broke her wrist and quickly realised how much she took cutting up her food for granted. Hoping you have found an easy way to eat as well as craft x
Aloha, found your channel by accident. Great tutorial. Don't feel bad, I live in Hawaii USA and we don't have a Michael's here either. However, you can order from Michael's online.
Hello Helen, I have just subscribed to your channel and I loved this video, thank you for sharing. And I wanted to ask you if you have ever tried wishing for the bags that you want from Michael's, on the wishing channels? I know of 2 channels: 1. Let your wishing begin. 2. Let the wishing begin. You can make wishes once every week.
Make a list what you want from Michael's by going to website. Sent me msg here or on Facebook under Donna Angell or we can be Pen Pals and send happy mail to each other! Anyway, I will pick up for you what you need send to you there in the UK. It's not that expensive. You can pay me through PayPal or send me a certified check from the bank or whatever you want to do. I can shop for you here at Michael's and send to you. Don't worry about shipping costs. Just pay for what you want from store. I have some paper bags of every color if you want me to send some to you!
Ill send you a pack of the bags you want if you show me what they are. I did a search and found "Celebrate It" bags but they have handles. would you do a trade with me for something fun?
Yes, it's a great glue - it's strong and it's perfect for paper as it doesn't wrinkle either. Tombow will dry tacky if it's not adhered to anything, so I go easy to avoid it coming out the sides :)
Thank you, but another subscriber has sent me a few packs - I'm just deciding on what to make with them. It has to be special as these are rare and precious things to be in my craft room. Yes, I am that crazy over paperbags!
Thank you so much!! I have watched several paper bag album videos today and this has been my top pick!! Great presentation with clear and understandable instructions.
Adorable paper bag mini! TFS the inspiration!

So nice to see and hear someone from the UK, great video and book.

Really like this quick & very easy way of creating albums.
I'm rubbish at maths too!
Thank you Helen for great tutorial & working it all out.X

Recently found this tutorial. Very excited to try it! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your inspiration in making a paper bag mini album. Beautiful
Lovely demonstration! I will most definitely try. Fortunately, we have a few Michaels in 🇨🇦Canada.
I dont have a scoring board. Do you think I could cut open a paper towel roll (the brown inner roll) and use that as a spine?
I absolutely love this. Your instructions are very clear. The papers are so pretty. It all turned out great. Thanks for sharing☺️
Thanks for the tutorial. You have explained this really well.
Great tutorial. Saving to a Playlist I have on tutorials by others so I can watch again and try this. Thanks so much for sharing!
What a great tutorial! Thank you.. Your instructions were so clear.. Love that paper pad. Beautiful books!👍
what do you use to cut your chipboard to size for your cover?
Hello Helen I think this is great I can't wait to give it a try thanks for sharing
HI Helen: I love this album. Wondering, could I use the smaller craft bags so that it ends up a 3 x 3 album. do you think it would work out?
Hi Mary - yes those should work :)
Thank you for your simple mini paper bag album tutorial. I may try making some for my friends. I used to poke holes. I like your method the best.
Lovely project,could you please link where you got your bags, would love to make this
Thank you. I wish you had more time to complete the album . It was great

I don’t use commercial paper. Would my own designs and paintings work?
Where do you find the material to make the covers ?

Thank you.❤
I would be happy to send you some bags from Michaels if you still need them!

angelldonm 66 we could be pen pals.......
Would love stuff from graphic 45 and Carta Bella X
Ill send you a pack of the bags you want if you show me what they are. I did a search and found "Celebrate It" bags but they have handles. would you do a trade with me for something fun?
I noticed you used such a small amount of glue. Does that really adhere that strongly??
Yes, it's a great glue - it's strong and it's perfect for paper as it doesn't wrinkle either. Tombow will dry tacky if it's not adhered to anything, so I go easy to avoid it coming out the sides :)
You should put your address in the description box. Somebody (your fans) might want to send you some.
And I want paper from england
If you really want the Michaels bags.....I have one 30 minutes away and can send to you
Thank you, but another subscriber has sent me a few packs - I'm just deciding on what to make with them. It has to be special as these are rare and precious things to be in my craft room. Yes, I am that crazy over paperbags!
You may try Michael.com to Order
Michaels is great but so is Jo Annes
I'm in the UK, so we don't have those here
