Lombards Paper bags

Just a few of the colour paper bags from Lombards. Each of these albums is 3 paper bags laid on top of each other, folded in half and then hole punched down the side. Easy to make and so cheap.
There is 12  5x10 inch paper bags per pack for $3.48, thats only $0.87 per album. The paper bags are not acid or lignin free that I know of, so to be safe you must ensure you cover all pages with good quality scrapbook paper.
They have a lot more colours than I have pictured, I think there is a yellow, a silver, a gold, a dark blue, but no black.
If you can't get to a lombards or don't have one close by you can purchase these albums premade at my craftumi store here.
