   Trim 1 1/8” x 12” piece from edge of paper. Cut two 1-1/2” pieces from this strip for zipper tabs. Cut paper in half to make two pieces 6” x 10 7/8”.

   

3. Step 3

   Cut zipper with scissors so it extends 1 1/2” to 1 3/4” beyond the scrapbook paper on each side.

   Fold the zipper tab in half. Cover the end of the zipper and stitch close to the edge. Repeat for the other end of the zipper.

   Center the front of the pouch on the zipper with enough space for the zipper to slide past the edge of the paper. Use Painters Tape to secure.

   

6. Step 6

   Sew close to the edge of the paper. Back up to lock the stitches at each end.

   

7. Step 7

   Center the back of the pouch and secure with Painters Tape.
