We had created an Evan-Moor literature pockets book a while back and as much as I loved the idea of it, I hated the over-sized end product as well. Didn't care for the flimsy construction paper either.<br /><br />So, what I originally wanted were colored paper pockets that I could slip into Tessa's history binder. I looked high and low for these. I can't find that they exist. Everything is plastic these days. Then, I searched for over-sized colored card stock that I could fold into pockets and then punch holes in. Couldn't find what I wanted for this idea either.<br /><br />All that I could come up with where these double pocket dividers (www.staples.com/Avery-Double-Pocket-Dividers/product_462804). They are very simple...just plain Manila pockets that fit in a binder. I believe Amazon has some too, but they are more expensive there. Since the ones at Staples are only available online, I ordered them and had them shipped for free to our nearest Staples store.<br /><br />To pretty the pockets up a bit, I bought colored card stock from the scrapbook section at Hobby Lobby and then cut each piece in half at the pocket line. I used a tape runner to attach them to the pockets. If you don't have a tape runner, I'm sure a glue stick would work just fine. A bought two extra pieces of card stock to use as a front and a back...to create a history pockets "book" within the binder.<br /><br />Since the history pocket titles (and maybe a few other random things) are too big for the smaller binder pockets, I reduce them a bit when printing. I can't remember whether I reduce them to 70 or 80 percent at the moment. One of the two, I think.<br /><br />Hope this helps. Let me know, if you need further clarification on something.

We have been using history pockets, but I've put them aside for several weeks because storing the oversize folders is such a hassle. I'd like to pick them up again if I can find something more workable!T.J.noreply@blogger.com
