DIY Envelope Expandable Pouch Tutorial

[@RingoWild]

Natasha, I’ve been a longtime subscriber, and I am always amazed at your dedication to putting out helpful, interesting and thoughtful videos. I don’t know what keeps you going but I’m just one of many who appreciates all you do. I’ve made one of these accordion envelopes in the past but it was way more complicated. You’ve simplified the process to make it quicker and more enjoyable - and with fantastic results. Thanks again!

[@lisabray2209]

I have never done this. I just follow you and made one. Woohoo

[@marykbennett8158]

Particularly like how you have examples of the options

[@juliarushing1920]

great project. I"ve been watching a lot of youtube videos lately made by people doing cash stuffing as they budget. this would make a great cash stuffing envelope system to categorize spending. thanks!

[@Imma_rose2]

I haven’t made these before but will give it a try. Thank you!

[@r.c.miller6161]

Natasha is the best! Project oriented and no wasting time with chit chat & calling everyone’s name. I love this channel.

[@anasissac]

That os a good project to reuse junk envelopes. Thank you!

[@wandaspencer9523]

These are lovely… thanks for sharing your ideas and talents!

[@susankula7709]

I really like this project. I’m going to head to my craft room and try it.

[@vivienblignaut7959]

What an easy and lovely way to store all my stickers. Thank you, Natasha! A brilliant idea.

[@emmasheppard2639]

They're super cute made from mini envelopes. They're fun hey xxx

[@kathyn3978]

I loved the beginning of this video…as she’s putting ephemera into each pocket…it was mesmerizing to listen to the sounds each one made.

[@adperinic3031]

Dear Natasa - oh so nice to watch - thanks for not making to much ado but directly jump into the creation process - and sometimes funny, too. Lots of love.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!!

[@cindytartt4048]

I know what you mean. I was watching a lady who was busy creating but complained about her day! It was an ordinary day- nothing tragic but she didn’t explain ANYTHING & I was new to her particular project. I’ve just discovered Treasure Books however and she is funny, clear, organised and creative .

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

❤ I have a need for organizers like these in my world.

[@anamarietomlinson3633]

Another reason why i always watch your videos is that you’re not boring and you explain the process in a short way and no need to watch an hour just to cut the paper and the editing process is amazing… There’s many crafters out there but i skip their videos because they don’t edit their videos… Your the best Natasa….

[@theolachapman6126]

wonderful fun idea love them thank you Theola

[@Veronim78]

Another fantastic fun project. Thank you for sharing.

[@barbaracabrera207]

Love these! Will make some for sure! I have lots of junk mail envelopes!! TFS Austin TX USA

[@MarieP3]

Thank you very much for sharing the storage tutorial. I have been saving return envelopes from companies for a good while and when my husband sees me take yet another one he sighs. I tell him I might find a use for them. Well now their day has come 🎉 I am making lots of the little folders for little things and ephemera. So a great big justifying thank you oxo

[@fiberfancies]

What a great project, Natasa! I've not made one of these with envelopes before-though I've made journals and other items with recycled envelopes. I like how easy this is! Tips I learned along the way: heavier paper does not roll over easily on the folds; mine got pinched in the wrong place on bottom fold so for the top flap I used a score board to make the creases. I also did not pay attention when I glued the envelopes to the cover, so the front openings (ie with lower edges) ended up facing the back of the cover. I also learned that it's best to cover up any writing or stamps on the envelopes Before gluing them together! 🙂 I haven't got washi tape, so it took a long time to cut scraps and glue to each end of the envelopes over the writing, and then strips between. Live and learn! Next one will hopefully be easier to assemble. Oh, I also learned: when using paper for the cover that has a design, it's best to trim both edges so the design is centered over the envelopes.

[@ButtercupK]

Great tips! Thank you!

[@ruthannepayler6969]

Thank you so much for your instructions. Concise and clear. Beautiful creation.

[@cdnqgramma3373]

I subbed You many years ago, for all your fantastic journaling ideas... you are still just full of them.... LOVING IT ALL.... but what really gets me, is your wonderful sense of humor, girl, you are a RIOT. Love from Canada xx

[@summer5851]

I absolutely love this idea. I made accordion pockets out of small prescription bags from pharmacy, and pattern paper. I'm going to use it for organizing my ephemera. Now I'm going to make your beautiful pockets from envelopes. Thank you so very much for sharing your talent with us. You always have fantastic ideas. You're so inspiring! Send love and hugs!

[@annausten3039]

Just wanted to thank you for the tip to cover the double sided tape with glue. It's a life saver!! And thanks for all the really unique projects.

You have such a pleasant voice and your sense of humor makes the whole vibe even better 💋 love from California 😘

[@cathyyoung1165]

Thank you! Love this idea. Going to get double sided tape. Thanks

[@rinafroneman7787]

Absolutely amazing. You always come up with such great ideas. You can use these little folders for so many different things. Thank you so much. 🌸🦋🌺

[@angelaarnold4255]

I just got some paper (mailed to me from the UK purchased from Amazon. So no shipping cost). It’s 300gsm. I got it out of curiosity because I’ve just barely started paying attention to the gsm of paper. It’s thick, soft and beautiful paper. I spent last night playing with just one sheet to see what it could do. Folding, cutting with scissors, my heavy duty guillotine cutter (worked best), gluing, inking, painting. I pretty much destroyed this one sheet. But I had a blast. I didn’t try sewing though. But today when I saw this expandable envelope pouch, I got so excited. I think for the first one, I’m just going to close the sides with my Art Glitter Glue. I’m pretty sure this pouch will outlive all of my Journals!! Thank you for sharing this idea. ♥️♥️♥️

[@rosecourtois9224]

I love them! Thanks for sharing.

[@nazmachowdhury4660]

I got few free accordion style seed packets to store seeds. Love them to store my little crafty stuffs and space saver. Very good project Lovely

[@karinroloff4562]

Great instructions and really pretty papers.....very creative ideas...........😻

[@rebeccabodine413]

Good, good idea. I like it😊

[@lindaellis1584]

You have done it again another great project. Love it.

[@Swt.Designs]

So so glad I found your channel. I’ve been so stressed, my daughter in law is a pen pal to dozens of ppl around the world. They send each other post cards all the time. I was trying to find something to make her to hold her cards in, she currently has a shoe box n I felt I needed to do something a bit nicer with some kind of organization for her. She loves these type things. I only have 4 days before Xmas n nothing has stood out to me until NOW, thank you so soooo much. I hadn’t seen these. ITS PERFECT. I look forward to seeing more videos after I binge watch your existing ones of course lol. Thank you again.

[@peggyjohnston3063]

You sound like a very nice mother in law❤

[@Swt.Designs]

@@peggyjohnston3063 aww thank you. I made one n she loved it lol. Now to date I’ve made her 2 more hahaha 😂

[@StampforLes]

Great way to use up envelopes! Love this make💗

[@leisacarnahan7647]

Those are very pretty and useful. Thanks for sharing!

[@MyDjturner]

lovely papers. I haven't made these before, but i will be.

[@northernerinnc3179]

I followed along and made my first expandable envelope pouch using vinyl wallpaper as the cover. Thank you!

[@ButtercupK]

What a great idea! I have some beautiful leftover wallpaper and now I know what to do with it! Thanks 😃

[@lolitapoly123]

This is so beautiful, and you are the best teaching how to make everything. This is absolutely Gorgeous.🥰Lovely.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much 😊

[@wynomaburkholder3684]

Natasha, your talents blow me away. What an easy project to keep our ephemera organized without spending a fortune. Thank you so much for your inspiration ❤❤❤c😂

[@AiSayuriChan]

0:30 "No, I'm just kidding." xD

[@markie3394]

Love this idea! I’m going to make a few as receipt holders with frequent stores labeled on some of the pockets. One of my bills comes with an envelope that has a red design inside which I’ve been saving for quite a while. Will make perfect gifts too! Thank you as always for sharing! ❤

[@lisamr40]

I must tell you, Natasha, I watch quite a few KZbinrs in the same category as you. The difference is I try almost every project you do. Your instructions and videos are so easy to follow and so organized that it is truly easy to follow any one of your videos. Thanks for your hard work!

[@patriciagechei8145]

Thank you for this wonderful idea. I really appreciate the demonstration of how to line up the envelopes before actually pressing them down on the fouble-sided tape. You made it so simple but something I would have struggled with. Love this project!

[@rebecarod1475]

Excellent and simple project that can be made from your stash. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks for watching Rebeca 😊

[@randomuploadsfromgrandmaja4046]

24:01 Maybe I’ve been under a rock but I’ve never seen this project before. And as usual you have presented the instructions perfectly! I can’t wait to try it because I just left my craft room thinking “I really need to figure out a way to organize my scraps and small pieces of paper.” Thank you so much, you always brighten my day ❤

[@KateLawrie-l8z]

I'm with you! I'm new to crafting, so almost EVERY idea is new to me!

[@riteasrain]

You could also have a dedicated scrap box that you can dive into when needed. Very easy 😊

[@AndersKat63]

❤❤❤❤

[@alsoarty1]

I love that red grungy floral paper. Great choice!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much 😊

[@SallyGoff-d6o]

My first time seeing this done. How smart is this?!! Now I`ll have a place for all my pieces, may have to make two as I have so many.Thank you

[@cherylann933]

Thanks for all the inspiration! Natasha I love your ideas! I have so many recycled envelopes I might, maybe, just get my journaling supplies organized, maybe!🤣❤👍

[@marisolmendez1755]

❤ As always you, Natasha making things much simpler for us. Thank you so much 😊.

[@donnakinmn1683]

I've seen videos of these pouches several times but I think your instructions and your pretty papers have really caught my eye this time. I am finally going to make some. I have had some big brads for a number of years and was going to donate them but now I think I'll dig them back out of the bag and use them for closures. Thanks for the lovely tutorial.

[@peaceofjunkjournals]

0:30 😂 That made me laugh ... mostly because it's so relatable! Lol. I always over stuff all my storage containers!

[@TreasureBooks]

Haha aren’t we all the same 🤣

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

YES. I have too many bins, tins, boxes, and folders. 😂😂

[@belladesigncrafts6121]

You’re not alone, I am there with you. Natasha made it so simple. I’ve always covered everything from one end to the other when she made it so not necessary to tape it completely.😅

[@staceydailey6394]

These are super cute. My elderly mom would love one of these. I think I will make her one so she has a place to keep Business cards and appointments cards she can separate by person (her and dad) list of her medical and all those little items that she is always looking for. It will fit so nicely under her walker seat. Thank you! ❤

[@ТатьянаГромова-ю3к]

Спасибо за идею чудесного клатча для мелочей

[@lindamatson9368]

Thank you! Going to make these for graduation gifts 😀

[@ludmillasomp4723]

These pouch envelopes are absolutely amazing and I just love them. What a wonderful way of storing all sorts of items. It’s something I can see myself actually doing and enjoying the process. Thank you Natasha for this tutorial. 👍🌷🦋

[@rduckster4727]

Can’t tell you how much I love this project! A perfect way to use up excess envelopes and make something I’ll actually use! Thank you

[@junkjournalgirl]

Great storage ideas for all those little bits and bobs :) Thanks Natasha x

[@kathynichols5878]

Love this. I might even get more organized
