Envelope Upgrade

Are you tired of using plan, boring white envelopes? Why not make your own envelopes or give a plain envelope an inside lift.

Supplies:

• Single-sided paper for envelope inserts
• Double-sided paper to create your own envelopes
• Envelopes
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Glue Stick

Envelope insert:

• With a pencil, outline the envelope (flap open) on colorful paper.  Cut shape, cutting a quarter-inch smaller all around. Glue back of paper, insert into envelope, and press in place.

6-inch square envelope:

• Cut double-sided paper into a 9-inch square. Turn paper diagonally.  Fold three corners toward the center and secure with glue. Makes a colorful (inside and out) 6-inch square envelope.

The person receiving your letter will be pleasantly surprised with your creative envelope.
