Instructions:

1. Choose Your Paper:
   Select your scrapbook paper—I used black.

2. Score and Fold: 

3. Using your scoreboard and bone folder, score the paper to create pouch folds. Adjust the size depending on the scraps you plan to store.

4. Cut and Assemble:
   Trim off any extra edges with scissors, then use your adhesive to secure the sides and bottom of the pouch, leaving the top open for easy access.

5. Label Your Pouches:
   Add labels for color families, patterns, or specific brands to make finding scraps easier when crafting.

Organize in a Box:
Arrange your finished pouches inside a pretty designer box. This not only keeps your scraps in order but also adds a decorative touch to your craft space.  Find these at Micheals, Home Goods, TjMaxx 14"x16"
