I’m back today with an organizer project using only Kraft Envelopes from CutCardStock! I made this to keep all my frequently-used embellishments and stationery. You can’t imagine how well four envelopes can hold all the items in the picture below!
Please see the step-by-step tutorial below to find out how to create this amazing organizer!

Directions:
Step 1: Prepare four Kraft envelopes (5.25 x 7.25″ in size). Take an envelope and score it at 3 5/8″ or simply fold the envelope in half. Do the same to other three envelopes.
Step 2: Fold outward the pocket of the envelope such as shown in picture below.
Step 3: Cut the flap of the envelope in half (refer to the scored line) then fold according to the picture below. About 1/2″ wide for the flaps on all sides of the main envelope flap.
Step 4: Glue together the flaps by taking another envelope that is created the same way in Step 3, and glue the sides of the flaps together to form pockets. Repeat this step with the rest of the envelopes.
Step 5: This step is optional. Decorate the inside and outside of the holder with patterned papers.
The result should be looking like this…

Tips: Use thick card stock to replace the patterned card stock on the inside of the envelope if heavier items to be stored in the holders.
