Make Envelops from any Papers NO SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED
DIY Envelopes with any Paper
1) Deconstruct an envelope by ungluing it until it lays flat (I used a flat spoon handle to help loosen the glue from the paper)
2) Find a beautiful piece of paper (scrapbook, map, newspaper, music sheet …) and trace the flattened envelope onto the paper
3) Cut out the traced shape (I used deckle edged scissors)
4) Lay the paper so the nice side faces down and fold in each side of the paper (use the original envelope as a guide of where to fold)
Tip: Use a piece of cardboard or a thick piece of card stock to help make a crisp fold
5) Fold the two side flaps in and run a glue stick along the bottom edge of each side fold
6) Fold up the bottom flap and press onto the glued sides
7) Tuck a hand written letter inside the envelope and give it or mail to someone you love
