5. Stickle the words on the punch out. Let dry!

6. Crumple the four white bags and then ink the entire bag with Versafine Black Onyx ink. This will give it an old weathered look. Fold the bags in half to make pages for your book. 

7. Cut out four pieces of paper 5 inches long and 2 inches high. Adhere these to the fronts of each paper bag page to make a pocket to drop a picture in!


8. Embellish each page with the pre-made punch outs from the paper pack. I like to stickle the on the punches to really make them pop! I also added the doodlebug Halloween jewels.
9. Punch out 3 round holes on each page and tie the book together using the Doodlebug Halloween twine!
10. Use the pockets to place pictures inside and use the blank pages to adhere pictures of your favorite Halloween spooks!
