Create a fun and funky notepad holder with a manila file folder from the office supply store.
Select a manila file folder with the raised tab on the left. Score horizontally at 5-5/8 and 5-7/8" to create a spine for the cover. The scored area creates the spine of folder holder.
The closed file folder is creatively covered with two pieces of 12x12 Office Space Jade papers. One cover piece starts at the crease in the center of the inside of the file folder, and wraps around the left edge to finish the front cover.
The second cover piece starts at the crease in the center and wraps around the right edge to finish the back cover.
Trace the shape of the folder onto the paper and trim the paper with a craft knife or scissors. (Do not adhere the papers to the folder.)
Temporarily place the notepad onto the inside right cover and mark the position of the pad with a pencil. Slide a cutting mat behind the top layer of the file folder and make a slit with a craft knife wide enough to accommodate the cardboard backing of the notepad.
Cover the notepad binding with Orange paper and embellish with a scrap from the Jade Print.
Adhere the front and back wraps around the closed file folder with ATG adhesive to create sealed pockets.
Decorate the completed folder with Office Space prints and embellishments.
Create a tag to slide into the pocket on the left side of the folder.
Now you can show up to your meetings in style!
See you at the office supply store!
