I did a paper bag mini album swap in March with Shallale Figaro. The mail took a whole month to arrive from Mexico
Shallale used very small brown paper bags of about 2" × 2.5" and bound them together with a ring from a keychain and another metal ring.
I did mine with envelopes instead - folded in half and altered the opening. About 4.5" × 4.5".

Wonderful! I especially love the tatted names! So often it takes a bit of imagination to read tatted letters but yours and clear and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely bookmarks, and the tatted name too, good work!
ReplyDeleteI can't quite work out what has been done to the paper bags! - but it looks wonderful. And I love the tatted bookmarks of course : )
ReplyDeleteThe little books are adorable! I'm amazed at many of the projects you try. I really like those bookmarks. I think I'm going to have to expand my horizons and try some new things!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteWell, Michelle, I always love the challenge to tat alphabets.
Maureen, Shallale has a video to show how she did the mini-paper bag albums.

Yes, Diane, there are certainly so many interesting crafts out there that people do.
Such an inspiring array of crafts & ideas !!! The folded envelope album is very clever & practical since it has a closing flap to keep the contents secure :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully tatted names !
Yes, Muskaan, an envelope book is meant to be used to keep things inside the envelopes. You can use any size of envelopes to bind into a book.
