Paper Bag Boho Book

Using large brown paper bags, fabric, patterned papers, trims and things, I created this Boho journal.

The tags are a mixture from the #fabtag30days challenge and some I had previously made. 

I painted the pages first.

Then added the patterned papers.

And bits of trims and ribbons to compliment the colours.

I added fabrics to some of the pages.

Lace and crocheted doilies.

This is the back page and I didn't want anything that could get caught or rip on it. Then I found the perfect thing. Remember the masterboard I made for RRR, well I didn't do anything with it and it fitted perfectly.

I picked up these little plastic wallets last week on my trip to Hull and they have made perfect pockets.  They are much sturdier than the A4 plastic wallets and I didn't have to do any sewing either.

I also created some pouches in the tops of the pages to insert more tags.

This is the view from the top.

And this is the bottom, I added some trims and frills between the pages.

I'm toying with the idea of adding ribbons to the right hand sides of the pages too.

Large Boho Fabric Tags

Coloured some pieces of lace with DW and Pebeo paint.

Covered the tag with fabrics and added lace and gems.

Patterned paper on the back.

Close up of the tassels and the gems.

Sewed around the edges. Not neat, but it wasn't meant to be.

Tag two initially covered with one piece of fabric.

Back of the tag, patterned paper.

This was cut from another piece of fabric and gems added.

Gems added to the painted lace.

Another piece of fabric added and also a part of a doily which has been painted.

The two tags side by side. They are quite large, approx 8.5" x 5.5".
