Materials
3 Paper Bags (I use lunch bags, but any size will work.)

Hole
punch tool (It’s quicker to use the three hole punch if you can move the
punches close enough.)
Ribbon to bind with (I buy the “Spool o’ ribbon” when it’s on sale.)
Papers, stickers, brads, whatever (I usually furnish papers, ribbon, and some stickers, but ask for donations for everything else.)

Pictures
(I take pictures throughout the year and print them. I also send a note home telling parents that
we are doing a project and have them send some pictures of the child and their
family or whatever.)
1. Take your 3 paper
bags and lay them on top of each other alternating the ends.

2. Fold them in half
to create a book. The three open ends each form a pocket. We make tags and other things to stick in
the pockets. We usually tie or staple
a ribbon on each tag to facilitate pulling them out of the pockets.
Punch
three holes along the spine through all three folded bags.

3.
Push
a ribbon or two through each hole and tie off.

4.
Decorate your album with any of the embellishments you have.

I
always print a few sayings about Mother’s day for the students to use as
fillers if they want.
I
fold the bags and punch the holes. My
students do the rest. I usually cut
the ribbons ahead of time, so the students can just take what they need and
use it. I also cut fancy and/or
colored papers into pieces just smaller than the “album” pages for the
students to use.
For this album I found some green bags at the Dollar store. |
