Craft your way to a Coupon Holder


Coupon Holder: Supplies Felt I used old felt from a school project I believe they're 4 for $1 at Hobby Lobby. 
 Then a ruler, hot glue gun, scissors, ribbon, thread, and a button




I had felt glue but it takes 4 hours to dry so I just used a hot glue gun 

Now to get started I took the big felt piece 

          Then I measured other felt piece half way (to where it folded up) and over layer them then hot glued to make a pocket, I believe I ended up with 7 holders all together. 


Time to get it to close, I took thread and a button (I only used one) sewed it from the back and attached the button. Then I took ribbon and glued it from the back and wrapped it around to loop around the button on the front. 





I even attached a small piece to hold a pen/pencil. 
And now you are done, it took me about an hour to finish it but I did it off a whim. So I hope you like it. 


EXTRA TIPS:
If I made another one I would have went to a craft store and bought a board of some kind and glued the felt to the board to make it stand up better. 






My Two favorite Coupon Holder/ Organizers


My Favorite Ways to Hold Coupons:
Binder Style, Divider Style 
First you need a small binder, I got mine from Wal-Mart for around $5
Tabs at Wal-Mart $5
And a fine point Sharpie

I got these dividers from Wal-Mart around $3 

I also got small paper and hole punched it to write down anything I may need (price book, list of items I need to buy)  

Then I got clear protected covers at Office Depot for around $3. I wrote the category on the clear pockets and then used the tabs.
I put the coupons in the pockets and you have a coupon binder: Small version I believe. My favorite thing about this binder is it fits really well in the shopping cart.
My Second Coupon Holder:
And probably my favorite 
 My list of things I used
1. A bag of old scrap paper
2. Pencil
3. Scissors
4. And my binder I got from Wal-Mart $4 

          I take the tabs and trace around them on scrap paper to make them pretty.
