Pen Handy Checkbook Case 2006 Katrin Shumakov - page 1

This design of a checkbook case contains a useful pen holder to keepyour pen handy. As the simple checkbook cover, it also works well withboth regular and side entry type checks and has two internalcompartments and two external pockets for currency or receipts or forduplicate checks.For the standard dimensions of checkbook, use about 21-inch(53 cm) square of paper, but no less than 20-inch (51 cm). In thiscase the finished checkbook case will measure about 3.5 x 7inches (17.5 x 8.5 cm) closed.

The paper shouldnt be thin or too thick and need to be flexibleenough. For instance, 50lb standard weight kraft paper workswell. Anyway use paper no thinner than usual copy paper.Experiment with different kind of paper, sometimes recyclingmaterials as a city map, a poster or a folded flyer may worksurprisingly well.Keep your checks and check register in this cool all-papercheckbook cover, and watch everyone smile as you pull it out!

If using two-color paper, beginwith colored side down.

Valley fold the square inhalf from bottom to top.Press it flat and unfold it.

Divide the square into 3 equal sections.This is what you do: bend the left-handedge over one-third of the way behind,and the right-hand edge over one-thirdtowards you. Adjust them until you havethree equal sections and press the foldsflat and unfold them. Mountain fold
