I'm so excited to try this. We are using file folders to make Christmas Junk Journals. You move really fast so hopefully it goes well! This is such a great project.
This is a very clear and understandable tutorial! I’ll probably need to watch this a couple of times with a lot of pauses but I think I can manage to make this. THANK YOU!
Oh I love this!! Such a clever way to use up old file folders....love the tabs and the pockets! Gonna have to try this for a travel journal.....lots of pockets to put travel memorabilia in. Thank you so much!
This is the easiest to understand tutorial for a file folder journal. I’ve watched so many and always had a hard time following. I’m excited to make one just like this. Thanks!
Just discovered your channel and had to subscribe. Watched Large Christmas Journal/Folio and this one and love what you do. Can't stop now ... have a lot of catching up to do. ❣️🇨🇦
Thank you I wanted to make one of these for ages, I had trouble with the spacing of the tags, I don't think I will have a problem now, Your instructions were clear & precise.
Find an store bought envelope that you like. You could even use one from a birthday card and save it. Open it up and trace it on a piece of cardstock and use as your template to make your own envelopes.
Hi Darlene, thank you for this tutorial. I think I missed something because when I glued section 1 to section 2, the latter is shorter than section 1. I made the measurements as you indicated - section 1, cut to 4 1/2, make tabs, section 2 cut to 4. With the tabs section 1 is about 1/8" of an inch wider than section 2. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, next one I will cut sections 1 and 3, 1/8" shorter. Thanks again! 🇨🇦😄
Beautiful project but so hard when we have to keep backtracking to get the orientation correct. Not everyone has this challenge, but it would be helpful.
I was so confused after the first 5 minutes, I almost stopped watching. Then I finally saw what you were doing with making those notches. Then at 10 minutes, I no longer cared. This project is too complicated for me. Bet it turns out great because you are meticulous.

Hi Nancy. Thanks for the lovely comment. A travel journal is a great idea. I would love to see it when you finish.
I never realized that you could use an envelope punch board to make tags, or thought to use it to round corners! Great tip, and beautiful journal!
Thank you
Thank you. I learned a lot from your video.
Excellent! Love this! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Going thru my old file folders tomorrow! Thank you! 😃
What a fun one. Great usage of the env punch.
Thank you! :)

Glad it was helpful! Enjoy making your journal. I'm sure there will be many more once you get started. lol
Hermoso trabajo. Gracias por compartir.!!!

Thanks for watching! Welcome
Nice recreation of the file folder journal by Simple Stories. I like how you covered the spine in yours.
Glad you liked it! I'm sure there are many of us who have done some version of this file folder journal. Enjoy!
Such a cool use of file folders. Fun journal! Thanks for sharing. 💜💜
Thanks Sammi

Yay! So happy to see this tutorial. :)
Just enjoying this so much! Do u have any suggestions for someone like me who does not have an envelope punch?

Hi Kathi. Sorry for the confusion. I hope it all worked out for you.
What do you do if you don’t have the envelope cutter to make tabs
Trace tabs from on old file folder and cut
does the glue hold up over time? if not how about the double side tape or hot glue..please advise. Great video..excellent teaching! thank you
The Fabric Tac glue holds really well. I find the double sided tapes sometimes let's go in places. Have not tried hot glue.
Hi Darlene ,please can you tell me the height of this mini folder journal?
I believe it is 5"
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
The 1.5" and 2" part is so confusing. :(

Totally agree.
