The kit used to create this Christmas Mini Tri-Fold Folio is now available for purchase and download here from the Well Loved Journals Etsy store. The instructions below will guide you through making a basic tri-fold folio, but feel free to get creative! You can easily customize your folio by adding layered pockets, fold-out pages, or other fun embellishments. Let your imagination lead the way!
You will need to print out:
A selection of large journal cards. You will be using 3.
A sheet of patterned paper.
Sheets of small journal cards to make pockets and use as ephemera.
Instructions
1. You will be gluing 3 cards to the reverse of the patterned paper.
2. When gluing down ensure there is a small gap between each card to allow for an easy fold.
3. Cut out the strip of glued-down cards, then fold it to create your mini folio.
4. You now have the basis of your tri-fold folio.
5. Cut out three smaller journal cards and glue them in place to form pockets.
6. Now, you can fill the pockets with small journaling cards and ephemera.
7. You now have a tri-fold folio, ready for you to add your own creative touches
8. To finish, consider adding a strip of paper along the folded edges, and inking the outer edges of your folio for a polished look. You could also add layers of paper, ribbons, or charms to the outside of your folio.
9. Once your folio is fully decorated and assembled, you can fill it with special holiday memories, photos, or little notes.
