So - this is my first ever swap I am creating .... So nervous LOL


For this swap you will be creating a little book out of Brown Paper Bags. These can be folded in half and punched on the side to make a book. Tie together with ribbon; lace; metal; or bind it by hand!

The book should consist of the following elements:-

  • 2 brown paper bags folded in half to create a book
  • You will be decorating 8 little pages altogether
  • Brown paper bags should be no smaller than 23cm x 13cm (unfolded)
  • The Theme will be anything VINTAGE - please use your imaginations and add beautiful embellishments and sprays; inks; stamps; papers; Ribbons; Lace; Metal Charms; Ephemera etc.
  • You can even add extra surprises in the "open" ends of the bag (not essential)

Example of themes - Children; Quotes; Cats; Dogs; Teacups/Teapots; Marie Antoinette; Cupcakes .... the list is endless :))

Please no sticker slapping and make something you are proud of and that your partner will love!

I think it is self explanatory ... But as this is my first swap .... I obviously need a little help if something is not clear. Your guys help out there would be great :))

I am giving you a long time to make the book ... sign up by 29th May and send by 26th June

These are so fun to make and pretty easy as well. I look forward to this swap!

Are there samples of these on Pinterest or tutorials on You Tube because I don't understand getting 8 pages from two bags folded in half????? Help--don't want to join this swap unless I know for sure what I am doing.!!!

I agree @PeggyO ... not sure how we get 8 pages? Can someone explain? :)

Sorry about the confusion about the 8 pages - so basically if you fold 2 pieces of paper over and join them together on the folded side - you will have 8 pages. Front to back ...

Is anyone else in doubt about the 8 pages? before I assign partners?
