How To Make A Divider Pocket.

I came across these File Pockets earlier today, I thought they could be useful in my Personal sized Filofax.  They looked really easy to make yourself, within a few minutes I had whipped up a rough one and it worked really well. So here is the tutorial for you to try it yourself.

Here is what you are going to need to make these divider pockets.  I already had these items in so, basically its cost me nothing to make.

A4 White & Pink Paper, Scissors, Pen, Glue, Hole Punch & Guide



 Place the Hole Guide about 1cm off the top of the White paper and mark in the holes. (My hole guide is just the back card from a personal sized pad).

Fold the White paper in half so that the fold is to the right.

Next fold up along the bottom line.

Draw a diagonal line 1cm in from the left edge to a few cm's down from the right fold line.

Open the fold and cut this line.

It should now look something like this:

Fold the bottom part up at the fold line.

Redraw your holes using the Hole Guide.

At the top where you left the 1cm space, draw a line, this will be your top tab.

Cut the excess paper off:

This is now your guide to make a nicer Divider Pocket without all the lines and markings.

Place the white folded guide on top of a folded piece of paper/card and add your guide lines.  (Don't worry, you will not see these once the paper/card is all folded into place).

Fold the bottom part up.

Turn the paper/card over and glue the backside.  Refold it back together and punch out the holes.  Glue between the two front sheets near the holes to keep together.

That's it!  Quick! Cheap! And can be made with any pretty paper or card!

This is the first ever tutorial that I have done, so forgive please if it's not perfect. If you get stuck. give me a shout and I will try and explain further if I can. x
