Choose your Instagram photos and insert them into a Word document. Resize according to your preference.
print them off and spray the print outs with a clear sealer. This will help keep the ink from bleeding when you apply the decoupage medium.
While the spray is drying, cut the bottom of your bag off and create your book cover, creasing and marking it with a Sharpie. (For help making a brown bag book cover go to this post for the instructions.
Lay out your scrapbook paper that will serve as your cover's background. Start at one end and work your way to the other end. Apply decoupage medium to the back of the scrapbook paper and then press it in place.
The next step is to follow your crease lines and refold your book cover. (No, we have not added the top coat yet!) Crease it at the binding.
The reason for this is you will be adding your Instagram photos next, so you want to make sure that you know exactly where the front cover is, the binding, etc.
Cut out and trim all of your photos and lay them out onto your book cover.
When you are happy with the placement, attach each one by applying decoupage to the back of the picture and pressing it in place, pushing out any air, using your finger as a squeegee. Go ahead and overlap some over the edge if you like.
Now that all of your photos are in place, you can open up the folds and attach the overlapping excess.
Now it's time for the top coat. Apply a generous amount of decoupage, be sure that you cover the entire surface. You cover should be completely unfolded at this time. You'll need to let it dry for a few hours.
When it's dry enough to run your hand across it without feeling any wet areas, go ahead and put the cover on your book.
