I have been meaning to get my personal paperwork in order for some time, and as a first step needed some folders. Since I really hate buying things that could be made with scraps that would otherwise end up in the garbage, I decided to use some leftover board I had used for matting a poster to make a pretty folder.

I cut out four pieces to make the basic folder and glued down the inside flap on each of the sides. I used fabric strips to make ribbons to tie the folder together. The matting was too thick for a basic hole punch (I don't have one anyway), so I used a push pin to make two small holes and then twisted a screw through them until they were just big enough for me to pull the ribbons through. For a final touch, I glued a couple hastily cut fabric strips to the front for a rustic floral look.
