GIFT BAG JOURNAL COURSE
–
Turn Pretty Gift Bags into Handmade Keepsakes
Do you have a stash of beautiful gift bags that are just too lovely to throw away?
This creative course will show you how to transform them into something truly special! A handmade mini journal filled with pockets, flaps, and stories waiting to be told.
About this course
I can just never get rid of gift bags. They are so beautiful, and they’re still perfect after you remove your gift.
One day, while looking for a bag to reuse, they suddenly all looked like mini journals to me. And just like that, an idea was born: to create an album or journal using a gift bag as the cover.
Recycling and memory keeping rolled into one fun, creative project!
Whether you’re new to crafting or have been memory keeping for years, this course will inspire you to look at everyday items in a whole new way.
Let’s make MAGIC with the supplies you already own!
What You’ll Create
By the end of this course, you’ll have a beautiful handmade journal made from a recycled gift bag. You’ll learn how to:
Turn an ordinary bag into a strong, unique journal cover
Add pockets, flaps, and tuck spots for interactive fun
Embellish your pages with supplies you already own
Customise your journal for any theme or occasion:
Although my sample project uses a Christmas theme, you’ll see plenty of examples showing how easily this project can be adapted to any colour scheme or style, from birthday or travel journals to everyday memory books.
