Have you heard of lap books? It’s a homeschooling activity using those manila file folders. Not as fancy as what you’ve made but our kids put together some real beauties when I was teaching them at home.

my sister’s kids used to do lapbooks

@AIMR

Be prepared to enter a black hole if you google this…there are just so many styles and techniques…they are really fun to make, so give it a try and post your creations!

I’ll definitely be going down this rabbit hole at some point!

It’s vert neat!!

I have a lot of different stitches with my machine just figured it would be difficult to reach some areas on the folder without folding it more maybe just rolling it up a bit when needed works?

I love this so much! Your journal is just too beautiful, AIMR. What a wonderful swap item to receive.

I am happy to confirm it is indeed a wonderful swap item to receive

I had never heard of this, to be honest, but this is so awesome!!!

I’m bookmarking this for future use, thanks Linda for sharing.

Love the art journal you made!! You rock lady

I’m going to blame @AIMR for the fact I spent some time yesterday with my fingers covered in gesso and bits of tatty old book pages …

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

I, too, have a bazillionty (roughly) manilla file folders and have bookmarked this.

How can I not have any of those folders? Don’t even know anyone who works in an office.
Might have to accidentally find an office supply outlet and have some fall into my basket
