I must tell you what I just did. I liked this little folio so I decided to make my own. My folio was yellow so I did like you showed and started to colour it with diestress paint. I didn’t get any paint out of the bottle so I squeezed it really hard and……bom….the top came out and it stoped at my stomach and took a new direction. It was paint everywhere and, of course, I was dressed in white 🙄 So in to the bathroom, out of my clothes and back to the desk to wipe up all the brow paint on the floor and furniture. Ther was my cat walking around in the paint 😼 Now it all cleaned up and I’m laying still in bed 🤣

[@Roz5356]

You are a great teacher, thank you for taking the time to explain your ideas. I made five of these today. I look at many youtube videos, but when you have a tutorial, I always make them. You explain things very well, plus they are always so darn charming!

[@moonlightknitting]

Nik thanks for powering through despite your head cold. Your ideas and aesthetics are just my style. Loving this folio!

[@LedgerAndLace]

Even when you don't follow up "Do whatever you want" with "I'm not your mom," I still hear it! LOVE This! I was totally thinking TN! Hope you feel better! :-)

[@myraleonard6006]

Thank you so much for this video! I know it's an older one but I just stumbled upon it. I had made my son the 'Bill Organizer' and I have some of those hanging file folders to use up too!!! Going to do this. Thanks again.

[@jilldiaz7546]

I started making journals with a stack of these hanging folders that belonged to my Pop... they're strong and take any kind of treatment. I take out the metal strips, cut the height I want then fold the sides in to make pockets. And now they are showing up in designer patterns and colors! Love this folio, I made it before I even finished watching this video! Thanks for all you give us!!

[@KYATKAT]

thanks for this i made something similar using a large manila envelope ... for my first time making anything it.... was an experience and a half.. never glue or used washi before .(my fingers looked like a kindergartner with glue ) . it took about 10 hrs over a weekend .. i so enjoyed it..

[@HooliganMomma]

Your videos are ALWAYS a treat and I learn something new to try EVERY TIME!!! "I'm not your Mom" has become something I have copied..and have forgotten and used it on my boys...they look at me like, "what?" ha! I just say.."I was kidding" and try to remember the company I'm in when I say it!! I adore you Nik!!! xo

Thank you very much, Nik. I love this little portfolio and I can think of lots of things to do with it. It could be made taller, couldn't it for more faux midori looking journal. I am sorry you feel under the weather. I hope your cold doesn't turn out too ferocious for you. Loving all your tutorials. Having me a Nik the Booksmith fest! Thank you again. Hugs xxx

I have hand issues as well. Those corner punches get me after a while also. This is great - thanks for the great ideas! My first thought, being a TN lover, is that it would work perfectly in a TN as a folder to keep notes or receipts. I think I need a "TOP SECRET" stamp LOL!
