Diagonal Pocket Fold

Diagonal Pocket Fold Notepads. Multi pocket structure Inspired by Hedi Kyle from her book, "The Art of The Fold". Complete folding instructions in her book. Uses Origami techniques - no gluing! Folded from a 9x12 in paper. I used 'Peaceful Meadows' Scrapbook Cardstock from "The Paper Studio". I added notepapers...some with a pamphlet stitch & some with a small colorful elastic to create a 'midori' style notepad.

Here is a previous posting on my blog with photos.

 

Diagonal Pocket

 

Diagonal Pockets are another handy structure designed by book artist Hedi Kyle using classic origami techniques. In her book The Art Of The Fold she covers the height to width ratio of 3:4 to increase or decrease the size of this structure. I made mine using the dimensions provided in the book which required a sheet of paper 9 x 12 inches. This created a finished pocket measuring 4.5" x 3". I had some lovely watercolor papers in my stash called Peaceful Meadows by the Paper Studio which I used to construct my Pockets.

Makes an amazing booklet with pockets for notes or cards and a mini journal. Lovely enough as a gift on its own or add a gift card! Just a really neat fold constructed out of one sheet of paper and no gluing necessary. A pamphlet stitch for your notepad or use a simple elastic band to secure your notepad as in a midori style travelers notebook.

Origami Paper Folding

Went wild paper folding! The card holder style with note paper inserts which fold and tuck in on themselves are a design called Diagonal Pocket by Hedi Kyle.

It includes an outer tuck slot and two interior pockets. Her book ‘THE ART OF
THE FOLD’ is filled with innovative books and paper structures. Complete with
photos, diagrams, instructions and dimensions. 

The folding card holder wallet on the right has 6 compartments, 2 outside sleeves, 2 interior pockets and 2 side inserts. You can find an easy tutorial on Rob’s World.  He made a modified version of a design by origami artist Humiaki Huzita
