Creating Pockets for Junk Journals

 Cindy  A. Lewis has three folded multi-pockets that are QUICK and work really well!

Hither and Yon uses 6 x 6 and 6 x 8 double-sided papers to make a cool, easy double-pocket to either glue onto the page or clip on. They're also perfect for mailing fun stuff in a card.  Love this one

I made a lot:

On TicTok The Vintage Journal makes a folding, pocketed "insert" that's fun to make and to put anywhere.  Find her video here.

Septeria18 uses scrap papers to make simple pockets... The video's here.

Cut a 2 1/2 x 5 scrap and fold up 1 1/4 inches.  Glue the two sides.  Punch a half circle into the upper right side of the card.  Glue onto a 3 x 4 leaving the side open for a pocket.

                ***********************************************

Root Pursuit makes four corner pockets at a time with this method using scraps of paper and an interesting technique of gluing before collaging, then simple cutting.  The video's here.

Septeria18 shows how to make a vellum pocket without the glue showing....it's 17 minutes long but most of it is talking, just zip through and there's about 30 seconds of helpful info.  This would be good for making a lot at once, too.  Video here.

Rach and Bella Crafts shows how to make three different pockets.  The first, a three-pocket pocket, is made of 8.5 x 11 paper and is super easy.  The second is even easier, two folds and tuck the ends in.  The third is made from a circle and is quite interesting looking.  The first one, for sure, would be nice to have a few on hand.  Check it out here.

Pink Monarch Prints makes a corner pocket, similar to the above, but even BETTER!  It's made from any size square paper.  Video here.

For this one I cut off the triangle on each side that was folded under.  It made it too bulky and now lays down much flatter!  

Pink Monarch Prints uses a double-sided piece of 8 x 8 paper to make a pocket that looks like an envelope with multiple pockets inside.  I love her suggestion, at the end of the video, to make this what she calls a "Flip Flop" so you can put something underneath it and have a really different type of addition to a page.  Video's here.

Crafted by Christy made some "Super Quick & Easy Label-Style Pockets" from leftover paper....could make a whole pile at one sitting!  Here's her video.
