Easy pocket & envelope for journals & scrapbooks

Learn how to make two easy expandable pockets and envelopes for journals, scrapbooks, junk journals, travel journals, and handmade notebooks. These beginner-friendly paper craft projects are perfect for storing tickets, photos, postcards, maps, receipts, and other ephemera inside your journal. I use both of these designs in my handmade travel journals because they add storage without adding much bulk. The smaller envelope is perfect for paper samples or small tickets, while the larger accordion pocket can hold maps, brochures, postcards, and other travel keepsakes.
