DIY Folder 文件夾

Have you found papers in random places? Well, don't worry! Because you can organize your papers and documents with this DIY folder/ expanding file. 

*Warning: while making this, I took little pictures for the steps, and I am not very clear with the steps in this particular tutorial, so good luck!

You need:

-thick and thinner cardboard scraps

   •from anything: shoe boxes, snacks...

-glue, duct tape, or any other strong adhesive

-optional: an idea for a decoration :)

Step 1:

        Fold a thicker sheet of cardboard into a "U-shape" (now referred to as the "shell").

Step 2:

        Add same length/ width sheets to the shell. Connect with glue, duct tape, or any other strong    

       adhesive. Trim the sides to the desired size.

Step 3:

        For the two sides, you can either leave it like an expanding file's sides or a plain side like mine.   

       But still use cardboard or paper.

  

        Expanding file sides: Preferably, use cardstock or hard paper. Fold to    the pattern in the picture below. Glue both sides to the main shell.

Step 4:
        Last, you decorate the whole thing however you like! ~~
You could even connect the cover to the shell with buttons and strings!
