Notebooks From Grocery Bags

Cut the base off of each bag. No need to be precise at this stage.

Cut off the top half of the bag, to remove the handle. Some bags will let you just pull the handles off easily.

Iron the bags in a medium setting.

Tip: Lay a kitchen towel on top of the bags while ironing. This ensures that the paper won’t burn.

Line up all of the sheets and use a big paper clip to hold them together. Trim the book to size by using a ruler and a rotary cutter.

Use a ruler to determine and mark where you need to punch holes to bind the book. Once the mark has been placed, use a handheld puncher to create a hole.

Use twine to bind the books. Add some buttons to make it fancy!

Note: You can bind your book with old satin ribbons, or four strands of yarn or anything else available at hand.
