DIY Library Pockets with Beccy

.

.

Hello Lollipop Friends!

.
It’s Beccy here and today I’ve got an easy tutorial on how to make these library pockets using the My
Small World kit which is for sale here.

.

I thought these library pockets would be perfect to send in Happy mail for your pen pals. Seeing as
this month’s kit is about the small things, I’ve used these library pockets for mail tags. Mail tags is
where you ask your pen pals questions. For example, what’s your favourite TV show, hobbies, food
etc.

These library pockets are very versatile, you could use them in scrapbook to add journaling or in
journals to hold little

.

The first step is to choose a colour or patterned cardstock of your choosing. Then you want to cut it
to the size of 3 ¾ x 7 inches.

.

.

Then on the 3 ¾ side you’ll need to score at ¼ inch and at 3 ½ inches. Then turn your paper to the 7-
inch side and

.

Then you’ll need to grab a pair of scissors and cut off the two long strips as seen in the picture. Then
you’ll be left with two small flaps at the bottom.

.

.

The next step is to fold along all the score lines.

.

.

This step is optional, I decided to round the corners at the top of the library pocket. I used the WR
Memory keepers corner rounder punch. You can always just use your scissors.

.

.

That is the base of the library pocket done, now its time for the layering piece. You’ll need to cut one
piece of patterned paper at 2 x 3 inches and another at 3 x 4 ½ inches. I used the pretty pattern
papers from the kit.

.

.

And here is the finished library pocket. It’s very easy and simple to make. Now it’s time for the fun
part which is the decorating.

I hope you liked this tutorial and will have as much fun as I did with the My Small World kit.
Until next time,
