A New Project for my Grandma

My grandma told me she needs a new project to do. Here it is, Shaffia. Enjoy!

This is a project from Paper Source for an accordion envelope stuff holder.














Here are the instructions, straight from Paper Source:

step one:
Choose your envelopes. You will need an odd number, anywhere from five to ten. We have used an A2 size here but, almost any size side-opening envelope will work.

step two:
Using a glue stick, adhere the envelopes together by placing adhesive on the inside of the flap of one envelope and using a bone folder, burnish it to the front of the next envelope.

step three:

Fold the pages accordion style, making the pointed flap of the first envelope the cover of your book.










step four:
Add a ribbon closure. Cut a small opening the width of the ribbon on both sides of the last envelope and run the ribbon through.










step five:
Using labels and colored gel pens indicate the contents of each envelope "page". Fill with all your odds and ends, fold up, and tie the ribbon closure to keep everything safely tucked inside.
