The copy paper doesn’t cover the entire folder as seen below, but I didn’t care since I was planning to seal the bottom. Repeat this on the opposite side of the folder. Then open the folder and glue down the inside.
I used my scrapbook glue roller for the adhesive. Place the paper on the inside of the folder and fold the flap over the outside. Fold 1/2″ of the top edge over using a ruler to create a straight fold line. So, I used a piece of white copy paper to cover it. I was originally planning to just cover the outside of the file, but decided that the inside wouldn’t look great in that green either. Using a paper cutter, cut off the flap at the folded seam. Carefully slide it along the glued edge to separate the flap.ĭon’t worry if it looks ratty – you will be trimming it off and covering it anyway. Use a flat tool like a letter opener (does anyone still have one of those?), a knife, or a ruler. You will need two papers in each pattern of 12 x 12 sized paper. Pick out some pretty coordinating scrapbook papers. There are a bunch of pictures so you can get an idea of how I did it. I had a crazy idea to ‘upcycle’ them and I loved the results! Keeping frugality in mind, I just couldn’t bring myself to dump my old box of file folders. More recently, attractive patterns and colors have taken over in helping us bring style to our homes – even to that which is hidden in a filing cabinet! Some of the hanging files and file folders that are available now are SO pretty!īut of course, what do I have on my shelf? You got it – the army green ones. Office supplies really have come a long way in the style department, haven’t they? It used to be that you could only get those horribly ugly army green hanging file folders to organize your paperwork.
