Instructions

1)  For the Outside piece:
a)  Cut a piece of cardstock by 3 1/2” x 5 3/4”
b)  Score it at 2 1/2” and 3 1/4” (the center piece will be 3/4” wide)
 
2)  For the inside holder piece:
a) Cut a piece of cardstock by 3 1/2” x 5 3/4”
b)  Score it at 2 1/2” and 3 1/4” (the center piece will be 3/4” wide)
c)  With an x-acto knife, cut 3 different slices as we can see on the template link.  These cuts will serve to insert the lip balm inside the pocket.
 
3)  Glue the inside and outside cardstock piece making sure to not put glue on the center cuts pieces.  The pieces should open like this:  http://picasaweb.google.fr/MEDRO13/MotifDamaskDiane50Ans#5211949307577820194
 
4)  Decorate the exterior pocket as desired with a pattern paper, stamps or anything else you’d like.  A quick note…before you glue the pattern paper on the outside cardstock piece, put a piece of ribbon between the two pieces. 
 
5)  Insert the lip balm inside the pocket and tie the ribbon.  Voilà !
