LESSology Challenge #61: Creative inspiration of Lizzy Hill

 

If you have tons of glassine bags in your stash, designer Lizzy Hill has an awesome idea for using them to make fun mini books for LESSology Challenge #61: Bag Collector.

Hey there, my upcycling recycling scrapping friends! Today I'd like to share with you what I did with decorating a paper bag.

Took a paper bag. Folded it into 1/2 & then 1/2 again. Stapled the middle.

Cut the top and bottom bits to create turn-able pages.

Then, because it's a glassine paper bag and not strong, I glued two pages together.

THEN I used an old quote calendar to add a number of quotes that suited 2 of my step grand girls, who I made these books for:

And here's some samples from the insides:

I added Washi tape to the edges for added strength, too. That stuff BREEDS!! 

The front cover.

And one last one, cos I can!

There's a lot of stash-busting bits in here, too:)

Anyways, I hope this inspires you to look at paper bags in a slightly different light.....can't wait to see what you come up with this month!

Cheers ~ Lizzy H ♥♥♥
