This is the perfect DIY project just in time for all who are heading back to school, or hey...maybe you just want to keep yourself organized. That's okay too! Stylish Day of the Week Folders
Supplies:
1. Trace your letter stencils onto the top right corner of your folders. I used M, T, W, TR, F and combined Saturday and Sunday.
2. With your cutting mat sandwiched between the front and back of your folder, carefully cut around the letter tracings using an X-acto knife. 3. Cut out a swatch of your pretty scrapbook paper, making sure it is 1/2" bigger than your letter on all sides. 4. Mark the placement of the paper on the inside of the folder, then apply adhesive or if you prefer to go the easy route, you can tape the paper to the inside of the folder. Although gluing it definitely gives it a cleaner look. 5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each folder. Hope everyone is having a great week,
