Faceted Self Closing Pouch using Feels Like Frost DSP

 

Ever have one of those days?! Well I had one of them when I tried to video the instructions for this lovely faceted pouch! But every cloud has a silver lining, so taking 4 attempts to video this, means I have 4 examples of different sized pouches to show you! 

They are all made exactly the same way, and all the instructions are exactly the same, with just one exception - the size of the piece of paper you start with! 

I've used the beautiful Feels Like Frost 6"x6" Papers, in the video - I accidentally called it First Frost in the video, but didn't want to record it again, just for that mistake! 

For the tallest of the examples in the picture, I used Snowflake Splendor DSP as this one needed a larger piece!

Hope you like them

Thanks for stopping by

Instructions:

Start with a piece of DSP 6" (15.2cm) wide.

The height of your DSP will depend on the size of pouch you want to make. For the examples in the picture, I've used DSP of height 4" (10cm), 5" (12.5cm), 6" (15.2 cm) & 7 1/2" (19cm)

Score @ 7/8" (2cm) from the top of your piece of paper.

Turn 180° & score @ 1 3/8" (3.5cm) from the bottom

Turn 90° so that the narrower section is at the top and score @ 2 3/4", 5 1/2" (7,14cm)

Turn 180° and score @ 1 7/8", 4 5/8" (4.5, 11.5cm) to first score line only

Now with short score lines at the bottom, score diagonally from each of the short score lines to the top corners of the panel above.

Cut up all 4 score lines in bottom section & remove section marked on template.

Fold & burnish all score lines.

Adhere tab to other end, round top corners & punch hole for ribbon

Fold in all 4 tabs at bottom, forming a square bottom & adhere.
