Pendaflex Mail Sorter
Artist:
Jessica Barnett
Estimated Time:
0.5
Difficulty:
Beginner
Step-by-Step Instructions
- One piece of each paper should be enough to cover both ends of this sorter, but you can use more than one sheet for a different look if you prefer. Begin by tracing the shape of each end of the sorter onto the wrong side of the paper. There is a lip around the edge of the front and back, so you’ll be cutting about ¼-1/2 inch inside the lines you draw.
- Use the scissors to cut out your pieces and then trace the shapes onto the cardstock. The cardstock pieces will need to be shorter than the patterned paper pieces, and you can trim the bottom off of them using the paper trimmer. Run all of your pieces of paper through the Xyron 5" Creative Station and attach them to the inside and outside of the front and back covers.
- Punch three 2” circles from your scrap papers. Ink the edges of your scrap papers and the letters for the front of the sorter. Run the inked letters through the Xyron 2.5" create-a-sticker and attach them to the front of the sorter.
- Use the paper trimmer to cut a strip of paper that is one inch wide and as wide as the box. Ink the edges of this strip with the black ink pad, then run it through the Xyron 1.5" create-a-sticker and attach it to the front of the box.
- Run the paper frills through the Xyron 1.5" create-a-sticker after trimming them to the desired length, then attach them to the sorter. Use different numbers of adhesive foam dots to attach the inked circles to the front of the sorter in the bottom right hand corner.
