Mommy Lhey | Reversible Pocket inside your B6 insert

Hello It's Mommy Lhey Girl Kim here to show you a great reversible pocket that can be placed between the staples of a B6 insert!  I've got the steps played all out for you do can make this while reading :)

Supplies:

1 - 8.5' x 11' piece of Mommy Lhey Paper

Scissors

Adhesive ( I use a glue stick but you can use what you like)

Your planner :)

Optional Supplies:

a marking pen

a bone folder

a scoring mat

Let's get started!

Grab the insert your planning to add a pocket to and measure (or eyeball) the distance between the staples and mark your paper with about 1/4 inch less to account for some wiggle room.

Fold the paper at that line length-wise, nice and straight.

Then measure 1/2 inch from each short end and fold inward on that mark.

I like to use the scoring mat to make sure my crease will be straight.

Because of the thickness of folded paper they won't lay down smoothly.

.

I combat this by removing the taller section of the 1/2 inch fold that we made.  That way when you bend the flap backward to the back it lays perfectly!

Adhere the smaller 1/2 inch flap to the back of the folded pocket.

Now you have a long pocket!

Fold the entire piece in half.  I use a bone folder to make sure the crease is nice and crisp.

Now you just slip it between the staples and you've got yourself a pocket inside an insert!
