Some stickers like the above

1 packet of paper bags(you can get from daiso)

some raffia string
Paper puncher

Method:

1. Fold the flag of each paper bag upwards and face each flag towards each other like the above pic and      use glue to stick them together.

2. Do the same for the rest of the paper bag(depending on how many pages you want to have) and glue all of them together.

3. For my album, i want to have a cover that can be overlap and flip the other way. Hence I glue the end of the paper bag.

4. Tadeh~ It should look something like tis.

5. Next, use the paper bag to measure the size of the fancy paper. 

6. Place the fancy paper on the cutting mat and use cutter to cut out the size according to the paper bag size.

7. Glue the fancy papers onto the paper bag.

8. Once done, think of how you want to place your photos. ( you can refer to my album for some ideas)

 

8. Once done, think of how you want to place your photos. (you can refer to my album for some ideas) I use some sticker to decorate abit. I even use the craft punch to punch out some heart shape and paste near the photo.

9. For the pockets of the paperbag, you can chose to slot in some photos.

10. I use the remaining left over fancy papers and cut and trim a rectangle. At the top of the paper I punch a whole and use a raffia string to tied the decorative tag to the paper. You can chose to write some simple words or like me use some stickers.

Alrite, you are ready to give the album as a gift. You can even make one for yourself too! ^~

(P.S, before you buy any fancy paper and stickers, please think of a theme for your ablum) In case, my steps is not clear enough, you can search through youtube and there are lots of tutorial you can refer to.
