How to Make Tri-Fold Folders

Instead of spending money on a costly project folder, use tag board to create your own presentation tri-fold folder. This project is best for folders designed for abnormal-sized papers so the papers don't fall out of pockets that are too big for the pages. You can create a template to trace in the future or to make a folder. Reuse the folders for work or school projects.

Instructions

    • 1

      Measure the tag board to extend 8 inches past the bottom of the sheet of paper by using the paper you wish to house in the folder as a sizing guide.

    • 2

      Cut horizontally to fit the tag board to the size of the folder.

    • 3

      Measure the width of the tag board to fit the paper three times plus an extra 4 inches for bending room.

    • 4

      Measure 6 inches from the bottom and mark the folder. Fold the bottom of the tag board up to the 6-inch mark to create the pocket.

    • 5

      Fold the tagboard in thirds horizontally. Staple on the folds to hold the pocket in place.
