What size do you call medium, when layed flat and the box end still foled up?

Most generally they are 6x6 when folded.You can also get them on ebay.You are from New Zeland though correct? I could send you one if you cant find the bags there.Just send me a message and let me know.

decorate the front or all pages in their entirety?

i've never done one of these but i'd love to - as well as receive one, but am curious as to how customizable it will end up being for the recipient should they want to add some photo's or something. Or s the point to just make an artsy story book with or without a real plot? (ie. just artsy)

Is it three bags you use or 4? I've made a couple and used 3. Does that make a difference?

This sure has sparked my interest. I'd love to make one, for the first time! Are the paper bags the traditional lunch bags, or larger? Thanks, Sallie

caelum-The idea is to just decorate each page how you like.You can make about flowers,fairies ect just however you would like to decorate it.So yes an artsy storybook would be great.

Everydaycookies-You can use as many bags as you want.I think 3 will be fine.I plan to use 4 myself.

Sparky-Yes they are just traditional lunch bags.

Any more questions please do let me know.
