All my paper bag books are made from scratch! I have bought a roll of Kraft paper (brown paper to you and me) and measured and cut the size I wanted. Then I turn a little flap up on the top and bottom and secure it in place by dipping my finger into to some PVA glue and rubbing it along. I then prick holes and hand sew all the edges! That's why my books take forever, lolThe following photos are in order, so I am not going to write a description as they are self explanatory, but if you wish to know how I have done something please ask!
Looking at the pages now, I think the black is too black!
OOPs, I always include a CD on the back page for extra photos to be added, but took the photos and then remembered that I hadn't put the CD in and then typically me, forgot to take a photo, lol

That's one real treasure Helena and made from scratch as you say, truly unique. I don't think the black's too black myself btw.

Well you must have the patience of a saint to make one of these from scratch - something I have never attempted !!!! Absolutely beautiful work and a real treasure, I am sure Micayla will cherish this lovely and truly thoughtful gift and the card is lovely too Helena TFS, BTW glad you got it finished - how are the others going ?
