When you hear “busy bag,” you probably think of toddlers on airplanes - but who says adults can’t have one too? As a crafter who can’t sit still for too long without wanting to doodle, color, or stick a little washi tape somewhere, I knew I had to prepare a little stash to keep myself entertained on our 1 1/2 hour flight from Dammam to Dubai, the 3-hour layover, and especially the big one - our 14-hour flight from Dubai to Seattle. And yes, I packed it all in my trusty Jansport backpack—still vibrant and cute after almost 15 years (a gift from my husband when we were still dating). What I Packed in My Flight Busy Bag Snacks : Candies - Gummi Worms and mint, chocolates (because travel calories don’t count). Ohuhu Maui markers + Love Cynthia coloring book (thanks Kaye). A 6x6 Paint by Numbers kit I scored in KKV, Malaysia. Travel journaling kit : My TN, Xiaomi photo printer, Pentel MatteHop pens (pen set and TN are gifts from Chummy!), stickers, and washi tape set....
I had so fun creating this sweet little Mini Album with Tags using Polkadoodles printable goodies - it was fun and relaxing. This project is simple and it’s super versatile too.
I designed the base cut file myself using Cricut Design Space, and if you’re using DS, you can grab the file right here. It’s a great starting point if you’re looking for a quick and easy project with lots of room for personalization.
For the papers, I used the Happy Cactus Succulent Printable Papers from Polkadoodles. The cheerful colors (my fave colors too!) and patterns are perfect for a spring or summer vibe. I paired them with solid cardstock for structure, using it for both the base and the tags tucked inside.
The sentiment on the bellyband—“Hi, You”—comes from the Honeypie Greetings Sentiment pack. It’s such a simple but sweet message that works for just about any occasion.
To finish it off, I tied a cute polkadot ribbon on the tags for a little extra flair.
This little project is not only easy to make, but also very versatile—you can use it as a card, tuck in some photos to make it a mini album, or even use it for journaling or memory keeping. Pretty, functional, and really fun to make!
