Re: HELP...DIY Pocketfold invites

ok. first question: what size do you want your pocketfolds to be??

this will determine a lot.

the supplies that you will need are as follows:
cardstock for the actual pocketfold (size depends on size of pocketfolds)
cardstock for the inserts
a paper cutter (preferably a rotary cutter) that has a scoring blade
double-sided tape

you'll also need a way to keep them close
outer envelope and inner (rsvp) envelope



there is also the option of PARTIALLY DIY'ING your pocketfolds. this is what i did.

fm me if you need more info

i might also be able to help you put them together

good luck
