Easy Peasy Paper Bag Mini Part 1 of 5

[@kayconnelly7596]

I so enjoyed your nifty paper bag journal video. It was clear and precise; and as you said, "Fast & Easy". Thank you for taking the time to share with some of us beginners. I have a Floral and Interior Design background and it is fun to add to the "knowledge" to all the creative things I have done over the years past. I recently gave a "mini book" I made to a long time friend. She showed it to a friend of hers, The friend said, " I want to learn how to do this project"! I referred them to your video. You have touched three peoples lives with your talent. Thank you again.....Kay from Surprise, Az.

Love this mini-album!! It looks simple enough, hope I can duplicate it!! I would love to see this decorated!

[@oscodagram44]

Hello Maymay, thank you for sharing these instructions! I have been looking and looking for a long time to find instructions to make a mini album that I could understand and actually complete! I'm so happy! I'm in a Christmas exchange with 11 women and this will be perfect!🤗😘

[@deborahwolfington1886]

I'd like to see how you decorated this mini.....I love the work you do and the inspiration you give me. Thanks!

[@Paperlover123]

I want to see you deck it out!!!!! this is so awesome because I've been saving little pharmacy paper bags, and I was just wondering how the heck I could bind them. Amazing your video appeared right before my eyes!!!!!😃😃😃😃

[@janmackinven1971]

Your videos are so easy to follow. Thank you.

[@LullabyLiterature]

Loved the video super simple. Would like to see how the finished embellishment looks on the pages.

[@vickieporter7249]

Thank you for this video. I have found something cute I can make my granddaughters for Christmas that won't take me a month to finish. I've had a few hurdles the last couple years and I seem to get farther behind. I like your tutorial, easy to follow, most of all I love your made for tv voice. Really! Happy Fall and thanks to you again.!! I've been watching your videos all weekend long!

[@juneribbons5196]

Hello Maymay. I'm relatively new to your channel. I watched a couple of your videos then lost you in the maze of album crafters. I love this easy way to make an album. It's awesome. I'd like to see it decorated

[@miladytorres]

Love how you explain the whole thing, honestly some of this video are so hard to watch but you have a gift in talking and teaching stuff love it!!! Working on a album!!!

[@MaymayMadeIt]

SamanthaRuth Torres Thank you!

[@pinklola37]

What a great tutorial! Thanks for doing this. Now I will make one for sure! I just found this so I hope there's another video of you decorating it:-) thanks!! Carla

[@MaymayMadeIt]

There is, I think I have it in a playlist. If not I will fix that right away. thanks for watching!

[@brendamann5389]

Hey Amy, I know this video is a few months old... But I have made a few albums and did not have the mailing envelopes available for my binding... So I used zip lock bags! They worked well with my scor- tape (or red tape). I have not experienced any problems. Just sharing-- love your techniques! Still watching-and learning! Thanks!

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Brenda Mann That is cool! Thanks for sharing that with us!

[@raymondchristopherson8989]

I love listening to you ! Great album! Thank you for your time and sharing this with us! Your AWSOME!!

[@lindahueston1192]

I am a new subscriber and have never made an album. This will be a great way for me to get started. Thanks fro sharing

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Great, give it a go, this is definitely an easy first time project. Thanks for subbing and watching!

[@kriskrumanaker4315]

I'm new to your page and I'm enjoying you and your crafty work. I noticed you referred to the FedEx envelope material as Keflex. What you mean to say is Tyvek. And that IS awesome material for paper crafting; good grab!

[@ebnykween]

This is a great and easy tutorial to follow. I just finished lining my Chipboard and am about to glue it all together. I used the lunch bags from Michael's $1.50 bin and adjusted my measurements for the size of the bags. I'm also thinking of gluing the bottom inside part of the bags closed so I can make the mats that you insert shorter and keep them from sliding all the way down in the bag (which would drive me nuts). I think just a couple of finger dabs of glue on the inside at the gusset should do the trick. The bags in the bin have a printed image on them, so you can just mat them before you glue them together. It's the only adjustment I had to make, but the bags are so much cheaper than the other ones (you get I think 6 to a bag for 1.50) and they are a much better weight than the package of bags that you get from the grocery store. I'm definitely going to be stocking up on them, as this IS a very easy tutorial to follow. I've been paper crafting for years and I just started making mini books. I own a store so I used OLD USPS shipping boxes from orders I get in as chipboard and I save every envelope I get that's made from Tyvek Thanks so much for sharing!

[@marlenezagar4487]

So cool. Yes would love to see it decorated.

[@gmcamp5592]

Great idea. You are sooo creative. Can't wait to see how you decorate the album....Marie

[@LatinaPlants]

Love this mini album ! I really would love to see you decorate it all up ! It really is fast ! I have been wanting to make a paper bag mini album for a while now and have not done so cause of how long they take. I am so going to make this version this week. Thank you so much for the inspiration ! TFS ~Jackie~

[@peggyjohnston8997]

Yes,I would like to see you decorate the album. I love your tutorials!

[@sandracrawford1591]

Love, love, love this! Very simple but very cute. I am glad you shared this with us, thank you very much.

[@Passion4crafting]

Nice love it great job you can use a rolling pin to help with bumps with the wet glue and zip dry doesn't leave bumps and it's a wet glue. I will try your way next mini big hugs Jessie

[@lisafarrow6840]

MayMay you are such a gifted crafter and instructor, I just love your videos! You just make everything seem doable for even a novice crafter like myself, thank you so much :)

[@jenniferjackson4241]

Love it! Yes, please take us along while you decorate it!

[@marshalongo90]

You are a great teacher with easy ideas. Thanks so much!!!!!

[@debbiehoward4957]

So excited to learn this method. Thanks so much. This would be great to use with students in elementary school. :) I am going to try and find your videos on decorating the album.

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Oh, great idea for kids, easy and fast. Thanks so much for watching!

[@shreya4rocks]

So beautifully made and easy will see the next part definitely

[@howiewonderstud]

wow.... I actually understood all your directions! :D I spent an hour looking at parts of videos on making paper bag albums and whatnot- I got a minute into each video and had to turn them off- the directions were so convoluted and difficult to 'get'... and your video- is easy to understand and easy to make... Thanks! *new subscriber!

[@MaymayMadeIt]

+howie wonderstud Thank you so much!!!

[@alourdebernardpierre2496]

Thank you a lot. I really enjoyed watching and learned form a creative brain like you. I would like to watch the video on how to decorate the album.

[@lindabishop9606]

Really cool! Am just starting a mini album and would love to see it decorated

[@JudithBrummett]

Dog food bags work great in place of the fed ex stuff, but I use glossy accents to glue it. I started using this as hinges on fairy houses because it will be water proof

[@Ilsoloprofessore]

I'm looking for small and simple things to make for gifts this Christmas - this is ideal and will fit into my busy schedule :)
