Today we’re making a super simple DIY paper folder with a Velcro flap using just ONE sheet of paper—no template needed!
I’ll walk you step-by-step through the scoring, cutting, and assembly so you can create this 7" x 5" folder with confidence. This is one of those projects that looks a little fancy when it’s finished, but I promise…it’s very beginner-friendly.
We’ll also add a Velcro closure and decorate the front, and I’ll share a few ideas for what you can tuck inside—perfect for happy mail, small gifts, notes, photos, or even organizing little paper pieces.
If you’ve seen my Shorts on this folder, this is the full tutorial where we slow it down and put it all together. And if you want to recreate the initial shaker on the front, I’ve linked that full video below too.
