Little pockets of gratitude

STARTER GUIDE · AWAITING MAKER TESTING

Let’s make something lovely.

1. 01

   Place a rectangle portrait-style and fold the bottom two inches upward to create a shallow pocket.

2. 02

   Apply a narrow line of paper glue to the two side edges of the folded section. Leave the top open and let the glue dry.

3. 03

   Check that one note card slides in and out easily. Adjust the card width before cutting the other five.

4. 04

   Repeat to make six pockets. Add a number, leaf drawing or a short heading to the front of each.

5. 05

   Clip the backs of the pockets to twine so the openings remain clear. Hang where they will not touch candles or heating sources.

6. 06

   Invite guests to write a small thing they appreciate and tuck it inside. Sharing aloud is optional.

Make it personal

Mix family handwriting with a repeating paper palette.
