More 6" x 6" paper ideas

I've got more ideas for using up some 6" x 6" papers (or even 12" x 12" cut in fourths).


Coin Envelope

Score at 1 5/8" and 4 3/8", then turn 90 degrees and score at 1 1/8" and 5 1/2". Cut out the four corner areas, fold and glue. Can use various closures.




Double Pocket

Fold upper right corner down and glue bottom edge. Glue (or sew) right, left and bottom of larger piece to page. Makes a large pocket plus a smaller side pocket.





Envelopes and Folder

For smaller envelope (middle) fold one edge of square down approximately one inch; fold up the opposite edge a little less than 2 1/2".  Glue side edges.

For the folder (upper right) fold square in half. Then fold up the bottom edge approximately 1 1/2 inches for little inside pockets. Leave as is or add a strip of coordinating paper for a closure band.



Edge of Page Pocket/Tuck Spot

Fold paper in half and round corners. Place over edge of page. Both sides can be glued at top and bottom edges to make pockets or just bottom edge for a tuck spot.





Two -Pocket Flip (Best with double-sided paper)

Fold paper in half vertically. Then make cut from halfway point on one vertical edge to the fold only. Punch thumb holes at top of both smaller pieces. Fold one to back (see below) and other to front (second photo). This can be glued to page to make a small pocket on page as shown plus a pocket on front. You an add a little "notebook" of several pages to back of larger piece. Or glue back pocket to back and front pocket to front and just clip onto page.






Here is the same thing only both pockets are glued to front. This can be clipped to a page or glued along three edges to a page to form yet another pocket.


So many possibilities! If you search online there are probably many more.  I've been having fun using some of my small paper pads.
