Paper Pockets

Hi there!

I have an envelope where I store gift wrap remnants and left-over scrapbook paper. They wait there patiently until I figure out how I can turn them from blah to TADA!

If  you've ever borrowed a book from the library, books contain these pockets where a due date card snugly sits. Um, light bulb moment! Maybe I can make paper pockets like these.

Cut and fold the edges of the gift wrap/scrapbook paper to make a flat pouch.  Then attach this at the back of a notebook with double-sided tape.

Use it to store loose paper like important leaflets and business cards. TADA! Easy organization.

You can also attach the pocket 
to the front page of a book 
for a friend.

Then tuck in a handmade bookmark
as an extra gift.

And maybe add a little note...

...to tell your friend that this book
was chosen especially for her!
