Ziplock Pizzazz

Here's an idea for making your own little photo album.

Choose the photos you'd like in your book-- pick an even number of pictures.

Grab a quart size freezer bag. If your photos are mostly horizontal, cut 4 1/2" x 2" strips from the bag. If your photos are mostly vertical cut 6 1/2" x 2" strips. You will need half as many strips as you have photos.

Sew the strips together as close to one edge as you can. Sew again as close to the first seam as possible.

Using photo safe adhesive attach the first photos to the edge of the top strip. Match the second photo directly behind it on the other side of the first strip. Continue this till each photo is attached. Trim.

Staple ribbons to the sewn edge of the album. Add stickers, photo corners, decorative paper or any other scrapbooking embellishment to the pictures and enjoy the quickest album you'll ever make!
