Scrapbook Mini Album: Paper Bag Album Assembly

Hi, everyone! I've been getting a lot of requests for a video show you how I assembled the paper bags for my two Prima paper bag albums. I hope this helps & thanks for watching!

I LOVE the albums but to me this one is Rocket Science...LOL! I have taped albums every which way and they still aren't right. It's the spacers that I can't get right. I noticed that it appears that the spacers weren't used in the Dec, 2009 tutorials, so think I'll just do that type unless there is a "paper sack album with spacers for dummies" video...LOL.

@ScrapperGenLa In this video, the kraft cardstock hinges that join the bags are two inches wide and scored down the center. The bags are attached on either side of the center score. In the version with the spacers, the assembly is exactly the same except that the cardstock pieces are 2.25" wide and scored at 1" and 1.25" to form the spacer. The paper bags are adhered one on each side of each score line.

I did it wrong, I got lost :( I ended up with a bag at the end instead of a flap. but I will have to work with what I ended up with, i don't wana throw them out. but Im sure if i keep practicing this video I will eventually get it I like the idea of it. thanks

@TheRachel3131 If you have a bag on the end instead of a flap, you just need to add another cardstock hinge & ONE more bag. Then you will have a flap on the end. :D

Hi Kathryn I would just like to ask you where would you red sticky tape, from (I thought I saw some at my local Walmart, in my craft selection, I did see Elemer's Sticky tape, So would that work just as good? TFS, Im going to favorite this video, and try to find sticky tape if I can, ScrappyDiva1 I also subbed :)

@ScrappyDiva1 The last time I purchased the red sticky tape, I got it from ArticusStudioDesign {dot} com. They have the T3 tape from Provo Craft, but I buy the {not acid free} bulk red tape from Germany. It's pretty much exactly the same! Not sure about the Elmer's Sticky Tape as I have never tried it.

So, very helpful. Thank you very much.

@JJKicecream Yes, you just add them two at a time to the middle so the single bags are always on the outside to attach to the cover.

[JJKicecream]

You can add more bags right?

@yojo2011 I don't know where you could get the tape in Australia, but you might try asking Jenn {her YouTube Channel is ozegran} as she is from Australia & might now some good online Australian shops for you to choose from.
