3 Pocket Journal Page

By Noreen 10 Comments




By Noreen Doll.

Make a 3 pocket journal page to add to your scrapbook or travel journal.

3 Pocket Journal Page by Crafty Journal

This finished page is 6 inches by 6 inches and can be used in a mini album or as a smaller page in a large album.

It isn’t embellished so you can easily see how the page looks, but there is lots of space for fun embellishments.

There are 2 pockets on the front side of the page,

and 1 pocket on the back side.

Supplies

Scrapbook Paper, 3 or 4 different coordinating colors

Double Sided Tape or Glue

Scissors

Ruler

Pencil

Hole Punch

How to Make a 3 Pocket Journal Page.

1. Select the color for the page and cut it to 6 inches high by 12 inches wide.

Fold it in half so it is 6 inches by 6 inches.

2. Select a coordinating color for the pocket, and cut it to 4 3/4 inches high by 10 inches wide.

Fold it in half so it is 4 1/2 inches high by 5 inches wide.

3. On the left side of the pocket page, cut off a strip from the top that is 1 1/4 inches high.

5. Open the pocket with the inside showing.

Apply glue or tape to the right side and the bottom of the right side, of the pocket.

Close the pocket and press the edges to adhere.

6. To adhere the pocket to the page, apply glue or tape to the sides and bottom of the back of the pocket.

Place it on the page about 5/8 of an inch from the open side of the page (which should be on the left. The fold should be on the right.)

Using decorative scissors, cut another strip in a contrasting color that is about 1/2 inch wide by 6 inches high.

11. Place the pocket strip on the right side of the pocket page (opposite the side where the fold of the page is) about 1/2 inch from the right edge.

12. Press the glued or taped edges firmly.

13. Punch 2 holes along the open edge of the page, about 1 1/2 inches from the top and bottom edges.

If you are using another type of binding, you wouldn’t punch the holes.
