How to make paper file folder / handmade paper file folder / diy paper file for school (Super Easy)

Need a way to tame the paper monster in your backpack? Look no further than this awesome DIY project - a paper file folder you can make yourself! This is perfect for:
School Organization: Keep your notes, assignments, and tests neatly organized and easy to find.
Easy & Fun Craft: A simple and engaging activity for kids to unleash their creativity and personalize their school supplies.
Quick & Customizable: Takes minimal materials and time, yet allows you to personalize it with your favorite colors and decorations.
Here's what you'll need:
Two sheets of construction paper (similar size) - choose your favorite colors!
Ruler & Pencil
Stapler
Scissors (optional)
Bonus Fun: Markers, stickers, or decorative tape (optional)
Let's get crafting!
Prep Your Paper: Stack your two construction paper sheets neatly on a flat surface.
Pocket Power (Optional):
Want handy pockets inside your folder? Grab your ruler and pencil. Lightly mark a line 2-3 inches from the bottom edge on BOTH sheets of paper. This creates two pockets for storing smaller papers.
Folding Time:
Skip the marking step if you prefer a simple design without pockets.
Now, fold both sheets of paper along the marked lines (if using pockets) or simply fold them in half together (if no pockets).
Tip: Use a spoon or another blunt object to create a crisp crease along the fold.
Staple It Up:
Open the folded paper. Stand one sheet upright, then fold the other over it, aligning the edges. The folded edge should be at the top.
Grab your stapler and secure the sides of both sheets together along the open edges, leaving the top unstapled (this creates the opening for your papers).
Finishing Touches (Optional):
Want a softer look? Use scissors to round off the top corners.
Time to personalize! Unleash your creativity with markers, stickers, or decorative tape to make your folder uniquely yours.
No pockets? Create a makeshift one! Use a glue stick to attach a small folded piece of paper to the inside top of your folder.
