You'll learn how to make a bi-color map that can be decorated!
Step
Step 1. Take 6 sheets of paper
Step 2. Clamp it paper using a stapler, leave the sides on it permanent open.
This will be the map section.
Step 3. Repeat step #2 using the other two sheets of paper
Step 4. Fold a sheet of construction paper
Step 5. Clamp the shorter side of the paper with a stapler, leaving the long side exposed
This section will be the map pocket.
Step 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 using another construction paper
Step 7. Clamp the “pockets” to both “folders” using a stapler
Make sure the "pocket" opening is facing up.
Step 8. Pinch the two separate parts of the “folder” using a stapler until they are together on one side so that the folder can flip open
Make sure the "pocket" is inside.
Step 9. Decorate the map
Now you have a beautiful custom map.
Step 10. Done
Tips
- Color the map creatively.
- Decorate your map! Markers and pens can be used to decorate it!
- This folder has 6 pockets to hold paper! The top of the folder is not stapled so that paper can be fed through that side. The pocket has 1 space to put paper in and another because it's stuck in a folder!
- Make sure the folder paper is folded straight, otherwise the folder will look ugly and won't hold the contents properly.
- Using thick, sturdy paper will make the map feel and look good.
- Fixing the folder with adhesive tape can make it last longer.
Warning
- Paper folders won't last forever. So, get ready to create a new one. (Keeping a backup of map materials can help)
- Do not use super glue because it will be difficult to come off when in contact with the skin.
- Do not use a hot glue gun as this can cause the glue to splatter and feel very hot and stinging when it hits the skin.
- Do not staple yourself with a stapler.
