 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel, it's Iwa from Bohemian Crafting and today I'm coming to share with you a very easy multi-pocket waterfall a notepad or a notepad holder. We do have beautiful pocket here at the front, then we do have waterfall, then we do have a little notepad and we do have pocket here and the notepad is holding here so it can be changed and it's wrapped in this beautiful simple book cover. It's very easy to make it and I started to create these little journals after visiting Chadham Suite here in Rodrem that's in hospital, section in hospital for breast scanning and all kinds of you know breast problems. I've been there on my first mammograph two weeks ago, week ago I received the letter that I have to go back because they found something so the time between I received the letter and I actually went on that second mammograph ultrasound and biopsy was very scary and I kind of yeah I kind of freak out and luckily it was just cyst so I do have all done and I don't have any other issues now which I am very very happy about that because it was a huge relief that I don't have anything worse than a cyst and all these ladies in that Chadham Suite here in Rodrem hospital they were all of them very very lovely really amazing amazing collective of nurses and doctors is there and they make everything to make their patients feel comfortable and calm you know do not freak out from everything so I decided to came up with to create something for the staff and maybe for patients who are waiting there so I came up with these little journals I do have quite a lot of these simple notepads they are six inches tall and four inches wide just cute little notepads and I was thinking something what I can you know hold in my hand what can hold this little notepad and maybe can have also something you know interesting like this waterfall and maybe because you know me I love to create pockets so some window pockets so here pocket here and pocket here and I do believe these cute little journals notepads can be carried you know anywhere we need so today I'm gonna show you how you can create it you're gonna need one file folder and some old fabric I'm using old denim fabric and I have to say that I really love the look of this one so some file folder denim fabric and for making cover I did use old envelopes or here I do have pieces from serali boxes so used anything what you have at home I hope you will enjoy the tutorial for chat hum little notepads I have used file folder this is pentaflex file folder I found them on amazon and link will be down below for those who want to have a look I don't have any affiliated links so I'm not receiving anything from this link it's just for you to make sure you know what I'm using this file folder measures nine inches here and 11 and three quarter inch here I'm gonna cut this file folder six inches here so I will have two long strips and cut and I've been washing my scoring board and it's still a little bit wet so today I'm gonna be using a ruler pencil and scoring tool I'm gonna be using this ball pen you can use a wooden pick knitting needle tweezers use something that will help you to score lines and I'm gonna start to make the marks so here I'm gonna help myself and I'm gonna draw a little line here kind of continuing this side up from this line I'm gonna score four and one eighth of inch and it's just because my little notepad it's four inches here in the width I'm creating a base for my pockets and I want to have it a little bit bigger so one eighth of inch it's big enough to have it there so my first score line will be four and one eighth of inch from imaginary this kind of going up so from this line and then second will be eight and one quarter first score line second score line behind this second score line I'm gonna grab my scissors and cut the paper I'm gonna keep there about one quarter of inch strip behind my score line and I'm gonna use that strip to glue it to glue a pocket here so I'm gonna cut the corners I'm gonna fold this and fold this third niche with bone folder and I'm gonna also take my corner punch and with that large one I'm gonna cut corners here and this top one like this so I do have a base for back cover from the left over I'm gonna create front cover we do have here this last piece that's gonna be holding the back cover here it's already pre-scored few parts and these two are making half inch so I'm gonna fold it there I'm creating half inch spine and here this one I'm gonna fold here where I just have created the spine and then I'm gonna fold it one more time so my first folding was here where I do have a spine there is one more score line so I'm gonna just fold my little page here one more time and create with that one quarter of inch spine here for a kind of ish so I do have little gap here I'm gonna grab my corner punch and cut this corner so this will be back cover here we have a spine and this will be front cover I do have here this second piece from my file folder I'm gonna take my yellow team and with my yellow team I'm gonna cut four inches pieces so four inch here and one more time four inch four inch from the opposite side now this left I'm gonna this should be kind of like square it's five and three quarter by five and nearly three quarter so it's nearly square oh it doesn't matter that much I'm gonna cut it to the five inches here I'm gonna start the score this is the five inch side so here I'm gonna create few score lines I do have here two and a half inch and I'm gonna make a mark every half inch every half inch and that's what I'm gonna score now I'm gonna take my ruler and I'm gonna make marks half inch from this side half inch from this side and again I'm gonna score this so half inch here half inch here half inch and I'm gonna and here I'm gonna take my scissors and with my scissors I'm gonna cut the line here oh maybe I should do I'm gonna do small marks here about two inches from the bottom to and half inch from the bottom here to two inches and same on the opposite side you do their angles so this is about two and two inches to and half inches oh shoot look at me not that big I do have this it will be moving part for waterfall I do have folded all I'm gonna flip it this way fold the last piece I'm gonna take one of these pieces here I do have two pieces which have this already pre-cutted corner from my file folder these I'm gonna keep for waterfall pieces for those pages here this straight piece I'm gonna take as my moving part in the back I'm gonna place it here match the sides here also fold this up and this up to make sure I'm sitting with that paper nicely slide it to that fold here I'm gonna grab the glue put the glue on this last part and here it's important to put the glue on the full this part especially in these corners because if you will don't glue them they can get stuck once it's moving down and up so make sure you will put nice glue nice amount of glue especially in the corners and on the edges fold it over and let it dry so I do have this one done I'm gonna also use my corner punch for these straight corners I'm gonna use that biggest one and I'm gonna punch the corners on this card which I just glued inside so it looks like a pack here on the bottom here these two cards I'm gonna take my guillotine and cut them in the size two and three quarters so it should be kind of like on half nearly nearly two and so I do have my four pieces prepared for waterfall they will go here on these pieces on these blocks I would like to create it in a vintage style so I'm gonna open all these pieces and use my distress ink and distress every single one of these I will also prepare covered papers so for my back cover I do have prepared this frame where I already placed also that acetate piece so then I will just need to place it here I will have pocket here and then pocket here to make sure this is visible as a pocket I forgot to use circle punch and create a little notch here so once it's placed here it's kind of showing that hey here is pocket and also I do have corner punched corners here so I'm gonna do same on my frame as you can see I did used also sewing machine and I did a little sewing all around of that frame inside so that's for decorating that back for waterfall I do have only this little piece which will be covering this base part and I forgot to create one paper for this one and here is one left over from my decorative papers I can either place it this way or this way well I will see so this will be over it and this will be here so I need to decide which one I would like to see I think this one I would like to see there so that's this and here I do have back paper which will be under my waterfall and it's in the size of this page and then I traced the shape I traced the shape of this page on my decorative paper then I have created a frame in it and I placed already here acetate back I used acetate back like this put double sided tape on my frame then placed my acetate back with this corner here then I did fast cut out all around my decorative paper that acetate back and then because here on the bottom it was open I used my sewing machine and I did sewing all around here on these three sides that way it was sewn here on the bottom and it makes beautiful pocket so I will have acetate piece from this side and this side as well and then I created same window here in this piece so now I can glue it here and I will have window from both sides and pocket in there because I did use that acetate back here before I will glue my pieces on my pieces I'm gonna be using distress ink and I will distress every single one of these pieces because I like vintage style so that will take a little bit some time so I'm gonna come back once all these pieces are distressed I do have all my pieces distressed and I can start to put them together so first it's going this one I do have here piece of double-sided tape when I glued down the acetate sheet I left a little bit of double sided tape here on the side so I'm gonna be using it to attach my frame here and at rest here here and here I'm gonna sewn with my sewing machine do you have sewn everything I'm gonna cut the threads now I can take a glue I'm gonna open this so here I do have pocket from this side now I'm gonna create pocket where I will slide this notepad that will be in the back so I'm gonna put the glue on this little fold and here on the bottom I'm gonna fold it down and glue my little pocket I'm gonna take the front part so I will have frame here and I will have the backside here this is gonna be first what I'm gonna glue down and it's just like decoration in the background and more like reinforcement so I'm not gonna create another pocket in there I'm gonna glue this to the front so I'm gonna flip it this way I'm gonna add double sided tape I'm gonna take off that backing paper and place it right here and I do have beautiful pocket here I'm gonna put together the waterfall so first I'm gonna place cardstock here I'm gonna fold this over put that little cardstock here and I can assemble these first I'm gonna glue these two cards which has that corner cutted and I'm gonna place that corner here I'm gonna actually glue that corner down my first card and second again I'm gonna glue the side with that cut that corner I do have my waterfall glued all together I'm gonna fold these till the last one last one up and go with these around they need to be big enough so this amount of cardstock will slide in there so I'm gonna fold these around it better bigger than smaller you will have problems to glue it down if you will make this one small these folds too tight so better bigger than you know later find that you can do that waterfall just because these folds were too tight okay so I can slide it up I will also place here straight away eyelet so I'm gonna measure middle of my card and place that eyelet so I do have that eyelet fixed I can flip it over put my folds on the back side grab my glue I'm gonna place here nice amount of glue not too much but quite a lot to make sure these will get glued properly especially these start pieces here and here they need to be glued once I will start to move this you know this will fall down so these start pieces these started sides they have to be glued nicely to a paper so they will don't get in the way of this and let this dry I can also take my back cover flip it this way place it with this fold right here much top and bottom put the glue on this last fold fold it over and glue it all together once it's all dry you should start to play with this and if it will get stuck especially here just make sure you don't get stuck here on the sides and play with it a little bit like few times come on come on come on to make sure it will work then you can close your book and we're gonna create a cover for the little book I do have cut that pieces for the cover of my book the measurement is six by four so I do have two pieces six by four from old envelope I also cut that two sides of these corners with my corner punch one side is straight with straight corners that will be side for the spine now I'm gonna glue this and create create cover for my book I know the spine is half inch so here on this little strip of paper I'm gonna create that half inch spine I'm gonna be using my ruler and create little template so from this line I'm gonna create half inch spine here again draw a line and now I know how big a gap I should keep between those two pieces of chipboard or cardstock I can take my glue and glue it down one side opposite side and because this is linen paper it's actually quite easy to also match how high I should place with my paper piece to make sure they are matching nicely now I can glue these over the ends I'm gonna glue this base on the fabric I do have here piece of cotton not cotton then in fabric so I'm gonna be gluing it on my little cover now I just need to let it dry so the cover is dry I also cut the fabric around and I used my sewing machine and I did just one simple stitching all around I'm gonna take this beautiful embossing folder and emboss the front cover with this chandelier so it looks like this it's beautiful how it looks on on fabric and now I can glue the cover on my little journal and I'm gonna let this dry and then just add a few little embellishments like here this leather strip add different papers and some small embellishments and you can have beautiful little journal with this waterfall holder and little notepad so I'm making these easy journals for chatham suit here in Rodin so I need to work a little bit on that mechanism and this is what we have created today that's all my sharing for today I hope you did enjoy it and maybe you will try these little journals made from one file folder thank you so much for stopping by today and spending your time with me have a wonderful time take care of yourself and I will come back soon bye
