I think maybe the parchment paper i bought at Dollar store would work. It is Fairley clear, much more economical than vellum. I love this idea. Thank you

I’ve made several of these that also split on the top too. I sewed mine in. I like the idea of the home made washi at the top to stop it . Might give it another go now 👍🌸

I thought about sewing, maybe using fabric for the hinges. I just hope it helps, haven't had time to fill it up just. 😁

I love this! I love the idea of the packing tape on the sides of the pages, too. Maybe you could reinforce the bottoms of the pockets with the packing tape, also, by starting with the top pocket, add the tape, add the 2nd pocket down, add the tape, add the 3rd pocket down, add the tape and then wrap it to the other side of the page. That would help to reinforce the bottoms of the pockets, as well. I just made a storage system similar, but with acetate pocets, and they are coming up, so i am going to redo it with the packing tape. Thanks so much for the idea!!

Use a ring binder in place of a book cover would be good ... One for each ephemera. Thank you for this method.

Yes that looks similar to one I'm making ...but I made a huge fold up folder from collaging full pages of old mail together a few layers ...now I gotta make tons pockets across it all ...three sides when open and then I can do elastic string across all to hold extra stuff...ii tried photo albums etc etc but this be faster n lighter weight and hold tons be easy access...lol...

Yes, the last one I made was with vellum, but I thought it would hold up because of the strong tape. Mostly I like looking at all the ephemera without turning page after page. 😁

I love the fact that you have a double reinforced edge due to your folded over washi tape. Might a self-fold gusset give the space needed to remove the contents easier? Even if one added additional washi tape along the entire edge, (gusset included), it still would keep the integrity of strength needed for the top. TFS!

I made a similar one awhile ago, but used cellotape along the bottom of the pockets. NOT a good idea, stuff slips down and gets stuck in the tape. Also found if you don't glue the sides stuff falls out all the time. Basic idea is fantastic though, and works super well. I need to make another one.

Hi Rita! Thanks so much for a fun interpretation of one of Patricia’s ideas: I love it, a never-ending ephemera holder! I wondered if you use the kraft paper tape first & then added the vellum strips, if that would work well? You’d get more “real estate” on each row & it may lay flatter that way? I’ve watched Rachel (Roxy’s Creations) use more of it recently & it’s a nice look! I bought some of that tape recently, but haven’t used it yet, so I don’t know how easy it is to work with. Thanks so much for a wonderful video, I have “liked” & subscribed! Hope to see you again soon! Erica❤
