Bingo Books - part 2 (pocket envelopes)
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
Whew! I finally did a bit more work on the Bingo Books (which I first mentioned in an earlier post). I decided to use paper scraps, leftover from making the covers, to create little library pockets. I plan to glue a pocket inside each book cover.
Here are the steps that I took:
1. Carefully pull apart a library pocket. If you don’t have one, you can use this downloadable PDF template.
2. I need my pocket to be a bit smaller than a regular library pocket, so I folded and taped my template into a narrower shape. When your template is to size, place it onto your paper and trace it with a pencil. (Be sure to make pencil marks for the fold lines)
3. Use a bone folder and ruler to score the folds. Use a ruler and craft knife to cut out the envelope.
4. Fold the envelope and adhere the flaps with either double sided tape or glue.
5. Voila! Cute little library pockets!
