Week 2 Day 1 - Make a Nature Journal

This is a cute little journal we made from brown paper lunch bags.  We used 3 bags but you can use more or less if you wish.

Supplies needed:
2-4 brown paper lunch bags
scissors
single hole punch
scraps of ribbon

Fold the bottom of the bags together.  Drawing a line just above the folded pieces.

Cut along the line being sure to cut off the entire bottom of the bags.

Fold what is left of the bags in half with the open ends together.

Layer all the bags together and then punch holes along the folded edge.

Place pits of ribbon or yarn through the holes and tie into knots. This will hold the journal together.

We placed 3X5 index cards inside each pocket and we plan to draw pictures on them. You can also tape or glue flowers, leaves, etc to them along with a couple sentences of description.
