A nice, quick and easy craft for you today. I have been making these envelopes for years and have had heaps of compliments for them. You will enjoy making them so much you will be begging everyone for there old calanders. The ones I am making today are ironically made from a childrens book called Every Monday In The Mailbox - perfect for envelopes I think.
Old calenders, large books etc
Envelope
Heavy card
Scissors
Double sided tape
Pen or pencil
Sticky labels
Carefully undo all seams on your envelope, I have used a business size envelope here which has a nice square shape. You could even create your own pattern if you wish. Open your envelope out flat and trace around it onto the heavy card. Cut the card out - this is your template. Place yout template on your choosen material (calender etc) and trace around it. Fold all edges firmly and unfold flat. Place tape on tabs and re-fold. Turn to the front and place an address sticky label. and your done. Just use double sided tape to close before posting. And you are done. No excuses now not to send a good old fashioned letter.
