Apply a piece of 1/2″ scor-tape to the top tab on each piece. Note: scor-tape is extra strong double-sided clear sticky tape that is perfect for all crafts. Alternatively you could use extra strength craft glue. Note, the top tab adds extra strength to the folder so it doesn’t tear through constant use.

If there are any white bits showing along the folds, run an ink stamp pad along the marks to cover them up. Note: Only do this if your prints are water-resistant otherwise you risk smudging the design. Prints are water-resistant if you printed using a laser printer, or an inkjet printer that uses water-resistant inks. If you’re not sure what type of inks your printer uses, check your user manual.
