Making Paper Bag Journals

with Annie Hooten

Learn this fun and easy technique for assembling paper bags to make a handy journal that can then be filled with paint, collage, stenciling, writing, etc. Annie will have a completed sample to display but the project will mainly deal with assembling the journal. You may have time after assembling the journal to start on the decorative aspect of it. Small paper bags will be furnished and after the meeting you can then go on to use many different sized bags and let your imagination run wild.
