Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Trim your 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock to 7-7/8" x 11". Discard 5/8" x 11" section. Score along 11" side 3" in from each end.
-
Step 2
Cut cardstock along the 7-7/8" side at the 3" mark so you have two sections: 3" x 11" and 4-7/8" x 11".
-
Step 3
Turn 3" x 11" cardstock one quarter turn and adhere using glue dots.
-
Fold in small flaps, adhering one over the other. Position glue dot toward bottom; step 7 will show why.
-
Step 4
Fold up bottom flap, positioning one glue dot at each outer corner. Step 7 will show why. You have just created a pocket.
-
Step 5
Mark pocket opening at 2½" (center) with pencil. Center circle punch and punch a half circle in pocket using 1¼" circle punch.
-
Step 6
Add half of a Velcro™ dot for a closure.
-
Step 7
Add half of a circle punch for decoration on flap if desired.
-
Step 8
Decorate front.

The 3"x11" piece is taped around the middle section of the bigger piece as shown in Step 3.
Yes, as shown in step 7, the folded down flap doesn't cover the entire pocket piece. Step 8 shows the other, solid side.
Thanks.
in sept. 2009 and I will be decorating the back side wth the letters of our high school and you will be able to see the smaller piece on the back. What am I doing wrong. Thanks . Anxiously awaiting your answer.
