Filofax Clear Pockets - Perfect for Post-It Notepads

While cleaning out my office, I came across a binder full of old diskettes (some of you might remember these ancient storage devices that held a whopping 1.44 kb of data) and noticed that the storage sheets were a sturdy frosted plastic.  Bells started going off and I grabbed my scissors and cut them down to fit into my Personal size Molden which I use as a wallet. 
To make it even easier to access each pocket, I used an inch and a quarter circle punch to create a finger fold.  The punch went through the plastic like butter, even surprised me. 
Then I used my trusty RAPESCO Adjustable Diary Punch to create the holes
Also punched easily even through two layers at once
These diskette pockets are the perfect size for 3x3 post-it notepads which will keep the corners pristine which can't always be said of the dashboards 
Happy together 
While looking for my circle punch I also came across this small tab punch from Jenni Bowlin made by Fiskars, the idea size for Pocket or Personal size Filofax 
You can easily print all the label titles on your printer and punch them out to arrange in your Filofax

  1. Thank you Monika, I feel guilty tossing things that could have a perfectly good life as something else. Luckily these were just the right size for the Personal size Filofax.

  2. Hello, I just came across your site looking for something like the tab punch. What size did you use? I have been looking and only found the large. Is this a small tab puncher? I am on a quest for this thing, lol.

    Awesome blog by the way. I am new to the Filo world myself and am learning soooo much. Thanks for giving helpful tips.
