Only just seeing this, great idea, thank you for the measurements and tutorial xx

[cheryl]

Cool! I would never had thought you guys couldn’t get these! I will certainly appreciate my file folders. I use them all the time! Thanks!

You are so smart to have come up with this tutorial. That's because you're the godmother of the junk journal movement.

Thanks for sharing and the wonderful tutorial. Although I’m in the US and have access to Manila file folders, I still love seeing DIY versions, because you never know when you might need something and don’t have it on hand. Knowing how to do things from scratch is just awesome. Thanks again! 😊

Great video Yvonne. Even though I can buy them here in the USA, I LOVE the fact I can make my own out of any paper I have. Blessings to you and AWESOME tutorial.

This is a brilliant idea Yvonne. Thank you for sharing. xx

I was very surprised to hear you cant get file folders easily in UK, ive heard a few ladies comment about that , they are readily available here in Australia, great tutorial thank you x

[GinaLovestocraft]

[mirleeo]

[crowson]

[bluemac]

Appreciate your tutorial. Thanks so much

[carolrigby]

I wish I had one of the envelope punches. Just yesterday I struggled to make a file folder free hand after I was inspired by your journal. Thanks for sharing your process.❤

[Electricwitch]

What a great idea makes me think of the saying where there’s a will there is a way x

[michellenowacki]

Great tutorial Yvonne, never thought about making them 😂 it’s so strange how we can’t buy them here. No need now. 💕

[annieliz]

Thank you for this. It's so annoying that we can't get them here in the UK. I've seen other tutotorials using the punchboard, but none that do the whole thing, hinge and all. TFS.

[suzieqify]

Wow your file folder is perfect. I do not understand why you cannot get these in the UK. If you want to give me your address I will be glad to send you some; however, you might not want anymore since you can make them yourself. Just let me know. Thank you for the inspiration.

[donnakennedy]

I've seen a lot of projects using file folders but this is the first one I've seen actually making them. This is really quite cool. I love this and there are so many lovely papers to create them. Just found you and glad to be here Yvonne. TYFS, Donna, in California. Plan on making some minis, how cute will that be storing my stencils and dies in them. The possibilities, right?

[Spellbound]

I have only just recently been making mine but loved your tutorial. I been making mine from lining wallpaper. Its dirt cheap and the roll lasts forever or so it seems! Lol. XTIBBYX

Very creative but to be honest it was quite difficult to understand what you said. The voice was sometimes but low. Rather than talking it was better if you just edit and make cloud notes on the screen.
