STORAGE MADE FROM EXPANDABLE FILE FOLDERS ~ GREAT FOR TAGS, CLUSTER, POCKETS AND MORE

[@faselersusan]

I’m trying this today! My reward for getting my house cleaned! The chaos of projects and papers were bogging me down. This may be what I need to regenerate my creativity. Just a beginner here! Thanks fir sharing these practical ideas!!!!

[@andrewharald88]

Hi there

[@dawnmorgart4038]

I appreciate you so much!!! Listening to your sweet voice, watching you turn common items into beautiful works of art....YOU"RE A BLESSING!!

[@raggedyann4372]

I’m rewatching your videos, I always learn something new🥰❤️🙏🏻

[@lindasiclari6215]

Michaels sells one like your pink tool. Where the glitter and tools for glittering tumblers are. It’s light blue handle with silicone on top. If that helps anyone, thanks, Miss E for this project I really need to make these for my goodies. Hv been watching you for quit a while now and hv made most of your neat little collages, tags, envelopes in many small sizes.. love, love ,love them all.Hope this finds you and yours healthy, and well and safe, Always with Lov, Lin

[@katrineleber7238]

I got one of those little spatula things in the make up section of dollar tree. I use it for hot glue and to spread regular modge podge and other white glues. It’s so much easier to clean than a brush. I love this project. Hugs, treen 💜💜💜💜

[@faodail3913]

You ladies on here are sooo creative. It blows me away. Many thanks from New Zealand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kellyheineman7827]

That turned out so beautiful. I'm glad you used the lace, it really makes the whole thing come together.

[@barbaracabrera207]

Too pretty!!! You do such lovely work. I'm an accountant also. No wonder I like you DO MUCH!!! Yesterday I picked 8 videos to watch, all day long. 5 of them were YOU!! Thank for another great video. Austin, TX USA

[@andrewharald88]

Hello 👋

[@fastquilter600]

This might be 2 years old, and I've watched before but today I think I need this. Thank you KZbin. And E.

[@juneribbons5196]

I absolutely love this file folder storage unit. Its awesome and holds so much ! It's really pretty too !!

[@paintedstars2]

I DO like this and think what you created is beautiful. I think because I know myself to be a very slow crafter with literal ADD so I tend to scatter stuff and have too many piles or "sections". I was actually inspired to pull those out for my OWN storage of goodies I make because I would be the one to knock over the nice file folder and get things unorganized or fall into a drink glass! Your project was beautiful and enjoyable to watch you create.

[@louisesouza8033]

This is beautiful. Love the recycled idea. Yes, that was gauge you used.stay well and be blessed,.

[@Sircaymen]

From a file folder to a beautiful work of art!! Amazing.. Thank you for sharing.

[@LindaGraham-r6p]

Very beautiful gorgeous folder I ❤️ it

[@pattscollectons1234]

I love ❤ to recycle. This is absolutely amazing and I live it. ❤ I have alot of old files I'll have to do this. You can get those at the Dollar tree they are 1.00 I have a few they are fabulous with using a glue gun.

[@andrewharald88]

Hi 👋 😊

[@bestgrammyintheworld]

I got a set of file tab die cuts at Michael's which included that particular die cut to put through your die cutting machine. I think there's 4 out 5 styles in that one die cut.

[@stephaniemcknight4347]

You made something ordinary into some beautiful yet practicable. Thank you for your great tutorial!

[@LB-vl3qn]

I love using these and often find them at thrift stores, sometimes brand new, and sometimes there are even beautiful. Not as beautiful as yours, but they would make a good starting point. Also, Dollar Tree sells a spatula for applying face masks, I believe, that looks exactly like the one you used that came with your hot glue set. I use mine to spread glue on large surfaces when I don't want to use a brush, but now you've reminded me how to use it with hot glue to avoid getting burned. ~ Lisa

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

Thank you

[@denisestone9119]

I live to recycle! I always see value in things others see as trash/junk. This is so cool. I don’t have this style - I have brown ones though I may try this with.

[@jimmyevans632]

Put a ribbon on it to keep it closed.

[@loriaidt7652]

This is about the little silicone spatula or brush. If you look in the resin tools and accessories, you can find them. Resin obsessions sell them, or let's resin.

[@donnamorris5936]

I love recycling....at the moment I am recycling jars and boxes like Pringles and I am using paper clay that I make myself and I turn them into fairy castle s and mushrooms and barrels.

[@SuperRocketdog1]

What a great idea! Thank you so much...guess I will be busy doing this.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😍❤️💕🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@donnakennedy87]

Thank you "E" for this great project. To get mine to stand up well I made a chipboard front, back and bottom using black construction tape from the UK for the spines, glued the file folders to the front and back chipboard pieces, then attached 2" wide belly band squared, attached that to the front and back and it sets up beautifully. Mine has 5 expandable folders and I house my different types of dyed papers in it. I hope it was ok that I shared how I finished mine. Hugs, Donna, in California.

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

Great idea. Thank you so much.

[@kimbain4368]

What an excellent idea! Very clever, indeed. And I love the colors and the roses and the lace and..... Thanks for sharing!

[@mariakennedy4633]

Waw what can I say , such an amazing project made with a combination of lovely paper ,your project ideas are brilliant you seem to read crafters minds as what they need in their craft rooms plus you explain your making of the project in such a caring and understanding manner. I watch you everyday I love all you make thank you for caring for us all during this covid 19 pls kip safe my sweet lady blessing xx

[@artistgrly]

I got one of those glue helpers at DollarTree in the makeup aisle. They are so separately.

[@marjimiller3985]

I agree with you E. I love to repurpose things and I like to make pretty things for my craftroom. Just gives a joyful smile to look around and see the pretty papers. Thanks for the inspiration. Hugs and blessings.

[@kathyude9457]

I love this project!

[@thekrew406]

I love this idea! If you glue the sides and bottom instead of center you will have even more pockets

[@jeannethomas6965]

Wow, it looks absolutely beautiful. Love the papers you used. What a great idea. Thank you.

[@andrewharald88]

Hi 👋

[@thompsonjeanetteful]

Using this beautiful lace, you can admire it and stroke it when you use the lovely folder. Xx

Hi E. Absolutely love these. I don't have any of these folders so I'll just have to try and make some. Thank you so much for sharing your how to's. I can't wait to start. God bless.

[@catbroda3590]

You've given me a good idea for all the used pocket folders I have. Thank you for sharing all your creativity. I also have a hard time with cutting & gluing fancy lace. lol

[@sharondrucker5331]

[@katherineott7105]

This is absolutely gorgeous! Those lace butterfly's...oh I want them! I only have 2 expandable file folders so I'm trying to see if I can substitute them or if I'll need to get some. Wonderful idea! I also love how you curled the wire on the flowers. I haven't seen that before. Thanks for all of your inspiration!

[@lindastilson5130]

Great project idea!

[@andrewharald88]

Hi 👋

[@paulacampos6311]

I bought some similar to that from the dollar tree they use them for make up as well because there’s where I found it in the make up area

[@JudithABurch]

This is wonderful.a set of ties on both sides made of ribbons would be fun.

[@andrewharald88]

Hi 👋

[@justinescales6085]

Wow I love this, now I’m not a scrapbooker but I love crafts of any kind and I just love your channel I’m going to make one of these to file my cross stitch charts in xxx

[@kathrynlester2352]

Purchase a 5x7 frame, lay some black satin or velvet, then place a small sample of the lace so you can look at it all the time yet still use it on something.

[@lisafreytag9414]

Looks nice! Like this material :)

[@mrstdoodle7085]

Yes Edith,,,I too love to repurpose whatever I can. That's being a friend to Mother Naiure. I relly think this is a beutiful and practical repurposed project.:) :)

[@bethtobin5312]

What an awesome idea. It’s great that you make such gorgeous storage ideas. Thanks for sharing. God Bless! Have a Happy forth

Wonderful idea, Miss E! I need to find my old expanding file folders to make myself one of these, as, I am beginning to get a small stockpile of journal items. You come up with wonderful projects, thank you!

[@andrewharald88]

Hi 👋

[@cabanfam09]

TFS it turned out so cute. I to have those same flowers and laces. And of course most of us have old file folders around. Thsnks fir the inspiration.

I need to know where I can get Scotch brand glue. and the little metal pointed glue spreader.

[@mafoster4393]

[@anajonmary7]

Thanks I get inspired and make my own one but I closed mine

[@cabanfam09]

That cheese cloth would look great under the pink butterfly coffee or tea dyed!

[@63sonotech]

I bought a small silicone spatula from the dollar tree and it works perfectly. The spatula is no bigger than an inch tall and an inch wide. Mine is teal color. I use the big end and the handle end.

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

Great thank you for sharing!

[@elsacleary9065]

This is perfect. It will look so pretty sitting on my desk. Making this definitely. Of course soon I will need a bigger desk. Thank you.

[@barbsjournalcreation1392]

You can use an old charge card to put the glue down. Tap with the edges across lace works great and then the flat side. (-:

Really really nice and great idea. Im anxious to try it! Thx for the video of it.

Hey 👋

[@lisamorales3914]

My project today! Thanks!

[@krnpotgeter]

As soon as I saw this I went and dug out all of my file folders. Guess what I’m doing tomorrow 😊

[@sheliaporter6795]

This is awesome! I need to make one or two of these. My stash needs some spring sprucing up. 😂 I have never seen the little hot glue tool, but I use a silicone mini spatula for the same purpose.

[@nancycarr2308]

I found that hot glue helper at The Dollar Tree in the makeup section. Your file storage is so pretty and useful.

[@rosemariewatz6741]

Try Plaid Crafts and Pointed Paddle for the tool....

[@NiteOwlCrafter]

That little tool is included in the Sizzix Glue Gun Accessories on Amazon $10.99. E. Thanks for a great project. I'm just beginning to build a stash for junk journals and have limited space. I think I can create expandable pocket style folders out of my regular manila folders just like I would in a mini album. Hugs and Blessings!

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

You sure can. They work great. Thanks so much.

[@vickirivera1052]

First time watching you. Great idea. I thought when you cut the file down for a Pocket that you would just cut it in half after that and have expandable short pockets for front and back. Anyhow since i I've worked over 2 decades for a non profit financed by its thrift store, I always recommend people look there for craft supplies and office supplies. Usually very cheap. So if Anyone Doesn't have these folders they should look at thrift stores. We got them all of the time and they'd go for .50 to a buck. I've gotten tons of craft supplies over the years for barely anything. Also books can be cheap for using pages and sheet music. Just some ideas for being frugal. Anyhow I'm gonna go find more of your videos. Happy crafting!

They sell them at dollar tree in the beauty section as a moisturizer applier for only $1 it really is amazing!

[@janicenorris748]

Your tool you use for the glue I've never seen, but at the Dollar Tree I found something that is similar that I've been using especially for hot glue. It is a makeup spatula, made of silicone. It works great. I ran across them in the makeup department while just browsing.

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

Will have to check that out thank you.

[@fastquilter600]

You are the Queen of using scraps!!! When cutting 12x12, I would cut it into 4" strips, I don't think the less of an inch will make that much difference since you are going to have so much in the pockets. This is a great idea!! I don't have file folders that are "pouches" but I can put a gusset into mine and make it work.

[@patversteeg1667]

So facinating, you are so easy to listen to. Tina ? Has the numbers to print?

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

Yes Tina does.

[@boomartin3495]

E, I don’t have a hot glue helper but I did buy a silicone makeup spreader at the Dollar Tree that I use for the same purpose.

[@lincasteel-butler531]

How to make the vase, love it!

[@bommake1]

[@janicestouffer6699]

I got an item at Dollar Tree that looks similar to the hot glue tool you used. It is called a silicone facial mask applicator. It must have been in the cosmetic section.

[@brendasmith-allen4601]

Hey Edith. Scentsy sells a little rubber spatula that looks like yours for their hot wax removal. Hope this helps someone.

[@dawnanngallagher8495]

Could you have used a needle and thread to make the accordion affect in case your folio gets super full with receipts and papers? I have seen you have sewing machine effects and thought that could be an option as well. You are the expert. I am thinking aloud and quite possibly be making crazy suggestions. I like the idea of having a pocket on the outside of the folder beside the fact that it looks pretty. I have way too many scrapbook papers, ribbon, ephemera, etc., and I am down sizing and was wondering if you have a P.O. Box where I could send you brand new paper, ribbons, ephemera, letters that are stickers, plastic, etc., if you were interested. I have benefited from watching and enjoying your videos. You are inspiring and I enjoy your accent. You make everything look so easy but when I try to attempt what you did in your video I come up with some epic fails despite your step by step instructions. I appreciate your sharing your talents with me and the other viewers. Cheers!!! Ciao!

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

Yes you could
