Mini Magazine Holder
This cute little magazine holder designed by Becky Roberts is a perfect way to give a few cards. I am sure any friend would love to receive it. Thanks to Phyllis for making it hold our cards!

Step 1: Cut your paper at 9 ½” X 12”
Score at 4” and 5 ½” the long way, then turn the score at 1 ½” and 6”

Step 2: On the top edge, measure in 3 ½” and down the side 4 ½”. Draw a line to connect the dots and cut this section away. Do the same on the other side.

Step 3: In the section above the 1 ½” score just between the 1 ½” score line and the 6” score line
Score at 1” - 2 ½” and 7” and cut away the one inch on each side.Now is the time to stamp your paper if you wish.

Step 4: Fold on all scored lines thenfold up the 1 ½” section and fold the sides in.

Step 5: Fold the outside sections in to cover the
1 ½” section and glue.
[You may need to cut the 1 ½” section down a bit so that it will fit inside the those flaps]

Step 6: Fold the top section into the inside of the box you have just made and glue.
Make a belly band 1” wide and fasten to the outside of the bottom. Now decorate.
The flowers that I used to decorate my mini magazine holder were made using Stampin’ Ups
5 petal flower. That will have to be another tutorial.
