Tract Holder

These are instructions to make a holder for tracts (or other papers) that are 9" x 3.5". This holder holds approx 20 tracts.

• Cardstock (12" x 9.75")
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Hot glue gun (and glue)
• Fabric (outside pattern should measure at least 13" x 10.5", inside pattern should measure 4.5" x 10.5")
• Button

Make 2 vertical folds in the cardstock, inward, to make 3 sections measuring 4" each

Fold corners inward so they are even to the vertical crease on their panel

Lay the inside fabric on the center panel

Flip the whole thing over. There should be a little bit of overlap where the inside fabric hangs over the top and bottom. Add a small strip of hot glue to the top center of the cardstock and stick the fabric to the cardstock. Repeat this step at the bottom of the cardstock

Lay out the outer fabric and place the cardstock (right side up) in the middle, allowing for some extra material on all sides.

Fold a seam along the top of the outer material. Glue the center panel of the seam together, leaving the side panels loose for now.

Holding the outside fabric taut, fold in the corner and glue down.

Glue outer edge of the fabric to the cardstock. Be careful about folding the edges; make folds face down so tracts won't get caught on the edge as you slide them in.

Repeat steps 8 and 9 on other side

Glue lower fabric seam to bottom edge of the cardstock, keeping clean, crisp corners

Fold one panel over the center and glue the bottom seams together along the inside on the very edge.

Fold and glue down the other panel. Glue button on. Voila!
