Office File Folder

I was in Office Depot the other day and found these wonderful folders in blue, caramel and green.  The colors are so soft and go well with Bashful Blue, Mellow Moss and Creamy Caramel which are Stampin' Up! colors.

I used a 12 X 12 sheet of designer paper double-sided and cut off about 1/2 inch so that it was exactly as wide as the folder.  I scored it at 2"and attached it to the back of the folder at the top.   I folded the paper in half to come to about 1 inch above the folder.  Is this clear?  I don't describe very well.  This made the top flap for the folder.  I then added 2 rhinestone circle brads, one on the top flap and one on the folder itself.  I made a small tassel and tied it to the brad on the flap.  I can now close the folder and keep it closed.  I decorated the folder with some flowers and lace I had left from Stampin' Up!'s Simply Scrappin Kit Just Delightful.  This turned out really great and only took a few minutes to make.  I hope you will make one too.
