Sometimes you just need a quick little pocket to pop in a few goodies. Right? This gusseted pocket is perfect! And you can whip it up in about 6 minutes. (Okay, the tag might take a little longer, but I'm talking about the pocket!)

Instructions

  1. Small 106187 2f2014 12 09 235743 gusseted%2bpocket%2bdirections

    I use a 28 lb. copy paper. It's a little heavier and slicker than normal copy paper and I love it for little bags and pockets. Cut the paper to 7 1/4" x 10 3/4". Turn horizontal and score at 4 1/4"

  2. Small 106187 2f2014 12 09 235915 gusseted%2bpocket%2bdirections%2b2

    Turn paper vertically and score.

    Gusset will be on the back layer. Cut off 1 1/2" on each side down to the 4 1/4" score.

    If you want to do some fancy stuff, do it now! I die cut a fancy edge on the top and cut a window in the front.

    Follow the directions in the photo to make the gussets. (No, it's not your imagination - that is different paper!)

  6. Small 106187 2f2014 12 10 000418 gusseted%2btreat%2bpocket%2bwith%2bchocolate

    I glued in a piece of vellum to cover the window, folded the pocket on the 4 1/4" score and glued the front to the gussets. Using the back as a guide, I folded the top over the back.
