I love this. So I gave it a try this afternoon right after watching the video. I finished it. I am sending to granddaughter who is expecting in Sept. I am telling her this is to take before baby come photo album. I will do a baby one closer to delivery time for her. It was so much fun making and very easy. Your video was great . Many thanks for sharing all of your talent with us.
Oh Kathy, Thank you for your message and I am so pleased you are enjoying the Tutorial and the Pocket Brag Wallets you have made. This has put a smile on my face and made my day Thank you
I loved watching your video ❤️💕🎶🇨🇦
Love this project! Made one this evening. Plan another for tomorrow. Will post pictures then. Thank you Dawn!
Thank you Ruth for sharing your photos over on my Facebook Page that is brilliant and Lovely for other crafters to see as well.
I’ve already gone wrong my central panel after scoring measures 4 1/4 × 6 1/4 so the 3 add on panels that measure 4 1/8 once folded comes out short once folded. Where have I gone wrong?
Yes Noreen, that is the correct measurement for the inside main panel. I can only imagine you have stick the sides and bottom pieces to the first score line and not the second, If this is not the case please email me some images so I can see what you have done. Email to dawn@dawnsinspirations.com
I don’t have A4 paper in Canada.
Closest I have is what we call letter size, 8-1/2 by 11 inches.
Could you help with alternative directions?
Love your projects. I have made many of your 6×6 minis which I donate to a cat rescue organization.
For something new I thought I would try the Pocket size brag wallet but am stuck on the paper size.
Thanks! 😻
Hi Patti, Thank you for your message and you can easily make this project with US Letter Size Cardstock. Have create a quick video to show you how here https://youtu.be/AkFspyWZQNs and then just use all the measurements the same on the Pocket Size Brag Wallet Post. Enjoy! Dawn x
Awesome! I’m so thrilled by your quick response. 💕. Will try it right away.
Thanks Dawn, I’m going to give this a try. It will make great gifts. I live your videos.
The 3rd piece of 8 1/5×11 is to be cut to make the accordion fold out. Your directions say to cut 2 @ 5 3/4×8 1/4. Cutting 8 1/2×11 in half gets 5 1/2×8 1/2. So measurements DO need to be adjusted. Should I leave them at 5 1/2×8 1/2 or trim to 5 1/2×8 1/4? Patterened paper will also need adjusting to corresponding sizes.
Hi Melanie, If you cut as per my instructions or the middle piece will fit inside the Wallet correctly. If you wish to keep it at 5 3/4 x 8 1/2 and score the same this is also ok as you will just have a wider piece (1/2″ instead of 1/4″) to stick together and you will not need to adjust your patterned papers at all.
