Description

You can make this simple art folder perfect for on the go. It has a pocket to hold paper you can use the folder to draw and make pouches to hold art supplys. Ill admit the instructions are not extreamly clear but hopefully the pictures help.

Instructions

  1. Small daynas pic

    First take an old binder and cut off the covers. Or you can use something else flat and hard that you can staple through or maybe super glue. also a binder with a pocket will help so you can use a pocket to hold paper.

  2. Lay both your binder covers on your fabric. let the bottems of the folder be about an inch and 1/2 away from eachother. Then cut one big rectangle around both covers leaving 1/2 inch of extra fabric around the 3 sides of each binder.

  3. Staple the extra 1/2 on to the covers. or maybe glue it I havennt tried it but it might work better.

  4. Small p6200028

    Cut out an extrea small rectangle of fabric and staple that onto one of the covers. Be sure to leave a side open. this ouch will be used to hold colored penciles or whatever other art suplys you want to put in there. staple it a bit lose so things can fit in there. (i created another small puch to hold just regular pencles you can make as many pouches as you want)

  5. Cut out strips of fabric and staple them to the cover to make handles.
