Did you miss the $1 dry erase pockets at Target? Yeah, me too. I kept seeing instagram after instagram of super happy SLPs and teachers grabbing those things and in my 57 trips to Target, I never got lucky. Not once. So, I took it upon myself to make some like I had seen on Pinterest…and I happen to think mine are much prettier 🙂
First you need page protectors. I happen to have tons of these. I am not even sure why I have so many…I must have found a really good deal somewhere or something and bought a kajillion! Speaking of having tons of something…Duck tape is something else you need and I just have a few rolls lying around. You also need scissors.
Next you will tape all the edges EXCEPT the opening. Duh, right? Well this brainiac got a little crazy and taped one shut. Oopsie. I found that if I laid the tape sticky side up, then placed the page halfway on and folded the tape over, it worked best.
Once you are finished, you have something that looks like this! Cute huh? 
And I practiced on one of the pages from my new planner and it worked perfect!
Have you ever made these before? Think you could use them in your speech room?
LOL! Me too Jenn!! I will be copying this DIY idea to make my own. Thanks for sharing:)
I’m so glad I’m not the only one!!! Have fun 🙂
These are too stinking cute! I see myself making a bunch of these this year!
Thanks!
I love me some page protectors…I use them all the time…of course yours are much cuter with the colored tape and all. I have to even admit I use my old transparencies….do your remember them? (am I dating myself???) You could make copies onto these plastic sheets and place on the old school projectors???? Well I still have some around and for some reason they have a lot of static electricity which is actually perfect to stick right over top a piece of paper so I can use dry erase markers on it!!! Hahahaha! Whatever works right? Love the cute paper protectors you made…so cute!
Thanks! Lol, I have no transparencies in my stockpile. But whatever works!!!
What a cute idea! Now I need to head out and get some cute duct tape. 🙂
Thanks Brea!
Those are great! I use page protectors all of the time to keep organized and limit my paper consumption but have never thought of using pretty duct tape to jazz them up. Love it!!

Always need to jazz stuff up…makes life more fun 🙂
These are adorable! Such a great idea… Love DIY projects!
Thanks Kari! DIY is always more fun 🙂
I use the page protectors too, but I’m always misplacing them and getting them lost in my various piles. The addition of duct tape will make them super simple to spot! Thanks!!!!! -Eileen
Oh I agree…they get mixed in with stuff and you forget about them! I definitely think duck tape will help you spot them!!! Thanks Eileen!
Super cute idea, Jenn!! I will definitely be doing this. I couldn’t find anything at Target either, but I think I like this better! 🙂
Carissa 🙂
I think these are better too!!! Thanks Carissa 🙂
Love this idea. I have been using page protectors as dry erase pockets for years (and yes, I have a million of them, too), but the addition of the duct tape is BRILLIANT!!
I’m glad I’m not the page protector hoarder 🙂 Thanks!
Cool. I love the idea. I will have to use this idea with my clients. (I’m a counselor & work with children) ♡
I love this!!! I am also a hoarder ( and re-user) page protectors! Did you punch out the holes on the sides so you could keep them in a binder when you aren’t using them?? Might make organization easier??? Just a thought…..I might try that
