4 years later and I still love making these. I find so many uses for these.

These are adorable!!!! I think it would be fun to give two file folders, a mini legal pad, and a pen!

I love how you say, "Use your paper". My m.i.l. refuses to cut any of hers and she's had it for years. She says it's too pretty to use. The file folders look beautiful.

What an awesome project! I am going to tuck a 5" X 7" mini paper pad into each one and give as gifts to my Sunday school teachers. They thought last year's post it holders were cool. Wait 'til they get a load of this one. Thank you so much for so generously sharing these, Amber!!

Rewind 10 years ago.... i had a little folder this size from Mary Engelbriet. I used it until it was shreds. I kept talking it back together and finally retired it to my journals not having the heart to throw it away. I didn't paper craft back then. I'm so excited for this tutorial now. I will definatly make myself a few of these! So sweet!

Stacey, I'm curious to know what you used it for. I think these are so cute, but I'm having a hard time thinking of what I would do with one.

@@traci4440: i used mine like a weekly to do folder. I kept mystery shopping list, too do list, bills or things i need to mail off. If i was heading to the grocery it held my list coupons and stuff, stuffed my receipts in it. It really was a catch all. I still use a similar system but now it's all in my happy planner (i don't use the planner portion, just the cover and note paper with the folders but i like the disc system so i can punch things and keep them inside. ) these folders fit a typical paper folded in half. Since they are small they easily fit in your purse, planner, or just in hand. I rarely carry a purse. My phone is a phone case wallet that i keep in my pocket so all my necessary papers are in hand. Think about having one for the dr's to keep the copay receipt in as well as lab results, another for the store, put those receipts in there until you scan them for ibotta. One for each kid. Christmas shopping. Ect, im sure once it's in hand, you will quickly fill it up! Lol at the end of each week (or when it was getting bulky) i would empty and put away the stuff that was finished (file the lab reports, buisness cards, pamphlets, the stamped portion of the water bill for proof of payment ect, to make room for more. I'm not joking these little folders are so darn handy! I'm glad she did this video! 🤩 by the way is nearly 1am and i'm rambling.. sorry 🤣

@@staceydailey6394 Thank you so much for your reply. Full of great ideas!

These adorable folders might fit in those mini binders that are being sold by the Dollar Tree and Target as well! Thanks Amber for another great idea.

So cute. I used your idea and sized it down to a 6x6 piece of paper. 1/4 inch scores on the sides and 2 inches at the bottom. Perfect little folder to hold 2 tea bags.

Hi Amy, I just made one of these. They're absolutely adorable. Thanks! for the measurements.

These are so cute! You know, one option for items like these, would be to donate to your local children's hospital. I'm sure kids would love them. And yay! A new Craft Fair series! I used so many of your ideas and donated them to various charities. Looking forward to it!

leopard prints how were the donations received? I’ve got a pretty healthy stash and thanks to Amber lots of good projects I’ve long thought would make great donations to low income classrooms. I’m just not sure how they may be received. Any input would be appreciated!

@@pnuthead13 You could always ring your local hospital and ask about it? Usually children's hospitals love cards (as long as they don't have like 'get well soon' on them) and crafting items. I'm sure a child would feel really good about receiving something handmade. I also donated a lot to a local women's shelter- I donated crafty items for the kids, as they are often forgotten. I also donated to a local dog rescue charity as they can sell the items at fairs.

Great ideas and make it look so easy.

Great video. I think I will make these with Christmas paper to use for gift receipts or Christmas idea lists. Thanks for sharing your good ideas!

I love all your “use your paper” videos! You are so great at teaching, matching different papers together, etc! Thank you for all your great videos!

Omigoodness, these are so cute and so easy! I just made 5 of them in less than 45 minutes and I’m guessing since I now know what I’m doing I could probably turn out half a dozen in half an hour. What a wonderful and relaxing weekend project. I’m going to make a bunch of these for my friends. Thank you Amber!

Your camera is so good it feels like you are in the room with you!!! 🎥 🎥 🎥

Amber, I took this one step further and laminated them. Turned out great! TFS.

Amber... I just want to really thank you for this specific series. It’s been wonderful and looking forward to learning more about your craft fair items!

I am a teacher and love these! Plan on making these for students and fellow teachers! Very pretty folders!

These are absolutely adorable. I'm going to make some to use up some of my paper pads and sell at our church for our missionaries fund. Thank you so much for giving us the idea.

Great tutorial! I just made the folder and it was so easy. They would be nice with Christmas theme paper to use for storing shopping lists, gift receipts, new recipes to try. etc. Thanks!!

What a cute idea. I have a shabby chic paper swap and this would be a great idea to send with the papers.

Love these. Your instructions are so easy to follow. I had to run to my craft room and make one. Wish I could show you.

Excellent project and start to finish tutorial. Thank you Amber. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

Always look forward to your videos, great one, I love working with paper!💖

Love this idea! Stinking cute!🙂

Amber, these are great! They would make great covers for a naked journal. I think I will make some of those up for my craft fair this year. Thanks for sharing, love your videos! Kristi

So enjoyed this entire series! Thanks skool much!

Love, love, love these folders!!

Great idea for using our stash of 12x12" papers--TFS!

You have so many great ideas for using up paper, I love them all! Tfs

I LOVE THESE! They're beautiful, adorable, fun and so creative! The ten year old in side of me is jumping up and down over this lol. I know that sounds strange but I would have love these when I was a kid and now I can make my own. These would also be fun if you have an event coming up and you wanted to customize gifts for those in attendance - like a decorative information packet. Or you can make them to suit which ever holiday you celebrate (I only celebrate Thanksgiving and the 4th of July). So many possibilities. Gits for your Mothers or Grandmothers, whomever. You could make these and give them out as welcome packets at church. Anything.

I am in LOVE with this idea!!!!!!

You hit another one out of the park!! You were my inspiration to start paper crafting about a year ago. I get such a feeling of accomplishment and I just wanted to say a huge Thank You!!!

Great idea! You could punch holes and use binder rings to keep the 12 folders together.

so cute! I just made one to see how they look and it is as easy as you say! I will be making a bunch of these and sending them to a teacher I know in Florida. her 5th graders are kids that are mostly from hard economic families. She has a book program for them and the folders will be plain, with a label on the front for their names. Inside they could keep track of their books, and even draw a part of the stories and tuck them inside these. so many many uses. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Great idea!! You always have the best ideas... was thinking the little legal pads would fit very nice inside that size!! That they can buy !! TFS

Very cute projects. Thnx for sharing.

Girl your project is bomb! Definitely going to some. Tfs and thank you for the inspiration! Darlene

Very nice video. Love that you show how to use up my paper.

Great video, you give the best instructions, always easy to follow, keep up the good work, thank you.

I love them!!! Made two already.

Love the tut. Made 12 in less than an hour. Plan to use some in the car to organize the glove box. Thanks for sharing the idea...….

Wow, they are just gorgeous!!! Thanks for always sharing your ideas. I love your channel!

Darling! Can't wait to see your craft fair series!

Cute pocket folders and looking forward to your craft show series.

As always, super easy way to ‘Use those paper pads’ yes! Love it!

These are super cute and I am going to make some, thank you for sharing this awesome project.
