This is another quick and easy project that would be great for Christmas.
You will just need 6 pieces of paper that is cut at 4x4 inches. With your paper you want to use for the outside facing down, fold in half one way and crease then fold in half the other way. Open the piece up turn to the side you are using and fold point to point making a triangle. Just do this one way. As you open the card back up you will notice the two sides want to fold in, fold them in and and then fold the other parts over creating a square, ( as shown in the video).

Make six of these, then glue then together with the closed points together, one on top of the other.
For your outside mats use paper that is cut at 1 7/8"x 1 7/8" you can stamp on one or both these will go on the front and back of the folded card.
Before placing these on the front and back take a piece of ribbon about 13" long and fold it in half then thread a wooden bead on it. You can also use class or plastic if you want doesn't matter as long as you can get ribbon or string through the hole.
Glue the ends of the ribbon to each side of the folded card, from closed point to open point. This will cause the bead to be right at the open point of the card.
Place your mats on and you are finished.
You can decorate more if you want just don't use any bulky items since this will need to close up.
If this is confusing then watch the video linked above and it should become clear.
