Tip # 51 Make Your Own Fun Envelopes

I like to mail my letter in fun envelopes. The bad part is, they are so expensive! There are lots of envelope templates out there to buy, but their expensive too!

So, why not make your own!

I just took apart a retail card envelope and used it as a template. Then I paper clipped it to some scrapbook paper and cut around the template.







Then I used a ruler to bend the flaps in.


You can then glue the flaps to make a card/letter envelope.
Or, you can do what I do, and use the envelope as the letter!
I write on the inside and then stick a bookmark or other fun surprise inside.
Then I use stickers or tape to close the envelope!

It's fun, easy, and cheap!!
Happy Saving!!
