Hello stationery friends! It’s been a while since I last posted in this space. I think everyone would agree with me that the August box is one of the best ever boxes!! I can’t stop myself looking at that special edition Superior Labor pencil case!!! To pick up from my last post, I am going to show you a video/tutorial on creating another neat mini folder using some of the items from this month’s box.
Here is a list of materials I used for this folder:
- Watercolour paper or heavier paper
- Kokuyu small steel ruler
- Rushon Petite brush pens
- Oscalabo geometric stamp
- Stamp pad
- Sarasa pen in mustard
- MT Morris & Co washi
- Stapler
- Cut paper into correct sizes - 152.5 mm x 85mm and 80mm x 40mm.
- Work with the larger paper, fold one edge up 25mm, and then fold down 65mm from the other edge. Use a steel ruler to help with the folding. The two edges of the paper should be slightly overlapped when it’s fully folded.
- Insert the smaller paper between the smaller fold, use a stapler to secure them in place.
- Now you should have two tiers in this folder where you can slip small paper bits in
- Add washi tape over both sides of the smaller fold. You should not tape the two sides together but rather tape separately to keep the opening free.
- Use a couple of brush pens to create some soft floral motif designs to complement the Morris & co washi.
- Fill the folder with vintage stamps and lovely bits & pieces for your snail mail friends or you could used it as a traveling folder.
- You could wind up some special yarn and strings onto a small piece of paper with a small cut on one side as part of the pack!
- Once your folder is filled, simply slip the other edge under the smaller fold to close it!
See you next time!
