This is the second folder I made (click here for number 1), I called it a 'stationery folder' because it's a fun way to give someone a gift of homemade note cards they can use, or store-bought cards, or whatever - but really it's just a cute paper folder for any use that you can think of.
This folder is 6" square, with no cutting, only folding. Super easy. I attached a couple pieces of ribbon to tie it closed, the folds make it a little thick to close it flat. I also played with putting a ribbon around the whole folder which also works.
Start with a 12" piece of scrapbook paper printed on both sides (or if it's only printed on one side then the inside of your folder will just be white, which is fine!). Fold it in half, open it up and fold it in half the other way, open it up again. The paper has been folded into creating 4 (6") squares (no cutting, just folds).
Fold the bottom two corners in towards the center of the paper, about an inch or so from the centre fold lines. See photo:
Fold the bottom center up over the triangles you formed in the last step, meeting the bottom straight edge to the center fold line:
Fold again at the center line which creates a pouch across the width of the paper. Fold in half and you have the folder with a pouch on each side.
Glue pieces of ribbon to each side under the pouch so you can tie it closed.
