Altered File Folder Pouch for Justin

Hi everyone!

Today I'm altering another file folder, this one is for my youngest grandson, Justin. He saw the file folder pouch I altered for Amelia and said he would like one also. The only difference was the colours. He said he would like blue, grey and purple. So that's what I did!

I used a LOT of product on this page, well paints anyway LOL.
