Jill has created a fun set of Christmas cards using brown paper bags and Dear Santa Photochips and Wordstrips. First, check the finished project out:
Here's a tutorial on how they were made:
Step 1: Take plain brown paper bag and fold in approximately thirds.
Step 2: After folding above, fold in half as shown to make a “card”.
Step 3: Take a luggage tag and some ribbon. Cut ribbon a little longer than the folded bag so that it hangs out the top and bottom of the card. Staple ribbon and tag onto back of “card”. This will give you space to write on! Thread some more ribbon through the little hole in the luggage tag.
Step 4: Close the card and staple one of the gorgeous Dear Santa photochips over a piece of muslin (or any other fabric – actually some old book pages would look fab too!). Staple onto the front of the card only (obviously!)
Step 5: Add a little bit of “Ho Ho Ho” from the Dear Santa wordstrips (with a little more ribbon and maybe some tinsel tucked underneath).
Step 6: You’re done!!! These are super easy and quick and look fabulous (I think so anyway!)
Repeat with all of the Photochips...
If you wanted to make these into mini books, just add more bags and tags to the back until you have the amount of pages that you'd like!
Thanks Jill for the inspiration!!
