This Avery shipping label packaging is made from thick and sturdy cardboard. You can easily customize this into a hanging folder for your wall. I ended up using this as a place to organize my bills so I know to pay them.

Total Time: 25 minutes

Supplies:

Avery folder/packaging
tape
Modpodge + brush
scrapbook paper
scissors
ruler
pen
X-acto knife

Steps:

I cut off the flap so when I hang this folder, it will sit flush against the wall.

Hanging Folder - envelop with flap removed

You can leave the folder pocket as is, or customize to your own liking. I drew out a guideline on how I wanted my pocket to be (essentially lower so I can see the envelopes when placed inside).

Hanging Folder - option one leave opening as is

Hanging Folder - remove some material to lower the opening

Optional: I taped around the hole on the back, that way it will hold up for a long time and not rip. Cut off the excess.

Hanging Folder - taped all of the way around

Using scrapbook paper or any paper of your choice (I am actually recycling previous months of my calendar) modpodge and cut out. I also glued inside of the folder (with glue stick)

Hanging Folder - use scrapbook paper or other decorative paper and decoupage outside and glue to inside

Hanging Folder - paper added to inside and beginning to add to outside

Hanging Folder - mod podge spread on the outside

Hanging Folder - envelope covered in decorative paper

Finished folder. Ready to hang and use.
