These are just a few ideas of what you can do with these. They are just so handy!

Here’s the tutorial. Enjoy!

Gather your scrapbook paper and folder(s).

You will also need:

Adhesive spray glue

Dot runner

Scotch tape

Scissors

Don’t’ worry, this is much easier than it may look.

Lay your folder flat making sure the tab is at the top right as shown in Step 1.

How to fold the pocket organizer:

Step 1) With the tab at the top right, fold up the bottom. Line the bottom edge to where the top tab begins.

Step 2) Fold it over to meet in the center. Line the edge of the folder to the center. (don’t line the tab up to the center)

Step 3) Fold over the other side to the center.

Step 4) It will look like an accordion when you’re done. Check to make sure the spine doesn’t overlap. (see photo below)

Step 5) Lay it flat down as shown.

Step 6) Turn it over and spray the back with glue adhesive spray, then fold the two back pieces together.

Step 7) This is what it will look like when you’re done.

After you have completed Step 4, check to see if the spine overlaps, like in the photo below.

If it does, just realign it so it doesn’t overlap as much.

Now, measure the sizes of the scrapbook paper you will need to cover each pocket and outer cover. Allow 1/4 inch extra for the outer cover so you can fold it over 1/4 inch onto the back side.

It’s easier if you cut out all your scrapbook papers at once.

Then using your dot runner, tape all your papers onto the organizer.

and remember, when you glue the front cover on, fold the edge over about 1/4 inch onto the back side.

Next, using scotch tape, tape the spine starting at the top to the bottom. This will help reinforce it and reduce wear and tear.

Then tape your pocket ends closed.
