This can be filed under the most clever creations I've ever seen from my friends at Captured Moments in Rotterdam, NY. This is a flip book for pictures, made out of two PAPER BAGS!! Who comes up with something like this? Tara and Tiffany are so creative.
The crazy thing is...this is so simple to make. You start by stamping the edges of your paper bags. Layer two bags on top of each other, facing opposite directions. Fold them in half. Punch three holes in the fold and tie them together with ribbon.
You'll want to cut blocks of designed paper for each page of the book. Another thing I love about Tara and Tiffany is that they are not afraid to use bold patterns and mix them together. Ink your edges. You can place photos or notes on these pages. The girls chose to use titles to inspire a theme for your pictures.
The bottom of your bag with half a fold. You can use that for something fun and unique...a clever pocket. If you prefer to cover it, simply glue the fold closed and adhere your patterned paper over the top of the fold.
The tops of the bags offer pockets for pull-out pictures. Throw a block of patterned paper inside and attach some fiber to the edge to give your book some texture. This makes the book interactive...some pages flip, others pull out.
Embellish your cover and enjoy. I think I had more fun with this project than any of the other make-n-takes I've brought home. Mostly, I was impressed by the originality of the idea. You can find more work by Tara and Tiffany at www.capturedmomentstore.com
