Triple Pocket

by Lydia

Make a triple pocket from a single sheet

Supplies

  • Patterned paper or gel print

  • Glue

  • Bone folder

  • Scissors

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Score a 6x8 piece of paper at 3" on the long side, and at 3/4" on both the short sides.

  2. Step 2

    Cut away two of the 3/4" x 3" sections on opposite sides of the paper.

  3. Step 3

    Trim the remaining two tabs on a diagonal if desired.

  4. Step 4

    Fold at the 3" score line, and then fold the bottom section up to create the three pockets at any size you choose.

  5. Step 5

    Punch notches if desired on the flat edges without the angled tabs, and then glue the long open side.

  6. Step 6

    Re-fold the lower pocket up and glue both sides of it to the base.

  7. Step 7

    Fill the pockets with ephemera or small cards.
