[kye909]

This vid inspired me to make my own paper bag journal. I've been using it for a while and love it!

[tanya2031]

Cool way to recycle/upcycle, love the idea of using plastic bag for binding. Your daughter done a great job too :)

[bleigh8793]

Oh, now you are one COOL Dad!!! I LOVE this video, and that your son was a part of it with you!!!! Of course I also thought the journal was great, and I was especially impressed with the braided plastic bag binding!!! I'm always glad to know a new way to recycle things! Love your journal! Well done, Father and Son!!!! ~tina

[ScrapDeDoo]

Well what an AWSOME DAD!!! and such a cute kiddlet! Not many men out there who will do these kinds of things! your a rare find!. Keep up with the awsome ideas!

[PaulaAbdulJr]

All my dad does is drink beer, and yell. *PART OF THE REASON WHY I DON'T TALK TO HIM* ahaha

[Slivings911]

What a terrific idea! Thanks so much for sharing this. For visual journalists I don't suppose the print on the brown paper matters much, as it can be painted or pasted over. I know what your friends means by not wanting to mess up a pristine "gift shop" type journal. I've never liked those either, except to admire from a distance.

"Is this difficult, Dad?" I love this video and I love this family!! Thanks for sharing such a cute idea! I am linking your video to Junk King Fairfax on Facebook to increase their recycling bang -- not to mention their good, old-fashioned family values!! :-)

[Kraftykkitten]

[cklnh]

[Dare2bme71]

That's Cute, I love the binding part... I do scrapbooking and I think I may alter your vision by adding decorative papers to cover up the cereal box and use Lunch bags to make it a mini..Thanks for posting.

[dawlheart]

Great project idea! I think I'm going to try substituting ribbon for the plastic bags and put fabric on the cover/paint the cover. Thanks for the pointers.

[clepto4peace]

Nice video, recycling and doing something cool with your kid, double bonus.

[sketik]

this is really neat. is that a ruler on the binding?

[TheRobGallery]

Thanks for sharing! This is an awesome way for crafty types to recycle!

[activityv]

Love this idea - fun video too!

[FaeryComeDraw]

Great idea! I love it and I'm going to try it sometime.

[Big5elow]

I really enjoyed this. I enjoyed that your son/daughter did the filming and ad-libbing. And I'm going to try the journal. But I noticed a reinforced binding with the holes for the plastic bag strips, but you skipped over what you did there. Guess I will wing that part. I really like how the journal looks, though. I agree with your friend about writing in fancy blank books.

[later6]

nice

Nice crafty idea. I made one with old record jacket and bound it with an old piece of colored telephone wire.

Neat project! The music is barely audible, though. I didn't even notice it until right at the end.
