Kid's Art Folder Project

I have been looking for months for an art portfolio for my little artist's projects from school. Some of those pre-school projects are HUGE and I didn't want to ruin any of her artwork........so here is a very simple & very inexpensive way to keep those projects stored:

You will need the following supplies:

22"x28" posterboard

Velcro tabs/strips

Hole Punch

Thick yarn

Scissors

Markers/Stickers/Embellishments

Instructions:

1. Fold over the posterboard 13", leaving a 2" overhang for the closure.

2. Punch holes on both sides to be sewn with the yarn. Make sure you do not punch holes into the top flap.

3. Attach velcro strips under the flap for the folder's closure. I used 3 strips but 2 are plenty.

4. Once you have sewn up the sides, be sure to sew all the way back down and tie the yarn in a knot. Cut off excess yarn.
