Description:

Paper bag books are easy and fun to make! Well, I haven't made one yet but they sure do look easy and fun! For this swap you will make one paper bag book from at least 3 regular sized lunch bags. Feel free to add more pages! Bind them however you like and decorate, embellish, write stories, recipes, etc. Really the possiblities are endless. BE CREATIVE!! Look here for directions on making the books. Check out flickr for inspiration, there are tons of them. This will be a pick your theme book. So, once you sign up please list four themes you can MAKE in the comments section below. Once partners are assigned come back pick the theme you want to RECEIVE and let your partner know.

The Breakdown:

  • Join swap - you know you want to
  • List four themes you would like to MAKE for your partner in the comments section
  • When partners are assigned go and pick the theme you would like to RECEIVE from your partners list and send them a message telling them which one you pick
  • Make an awesome paper bag book and mail it out
    Simple, right?

Technical stuff:

Please have a full profile and at least ten mailed and rated type 3 swaps with at least a 4.9. NO unexplained no-sends or flakers. I am hoping to make it fun for everyone; that means everyone keeps their end of the bargain and sends out a thoughtful and timely swap.

Have Fun! If you have questions, ask away.

I am going to extend the send by date by a couple of weeks. Maybe that will get some more people interested!

I've done several paperbag books in the past, they don't take as long to make as you might think. You kind of get lost in the process and before you know it your thinking, "...gee I wish I have added one more page!" The ideas just keep coming. I can offer up: 1. Vintage (your choice advertising, men, women, or children) 2. Cats 3. Twilight or goth (your choice) 4.Butterflies/faeries/birds/dragonflies. Yeah, it's a strange mix, but I try to cover all the bases. :-)

Hey guys. I'm waiting for one more person to list their themes before I assign partners. I have sent her a message so hopefully we will have partners soon! Yay.

That would be me!!! I'm a little behind on things sometimes, anyway I can offer floral, surprise, animal, butterflies and birds. This sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait to get started.
