Create unique envelopes

We have a lot of scrap paper lying around in our homes that can easily find a second life, especially when it comes to sending love notes with homemade templates for unique envelopes!

Old magazines, newspapers, road maps... Let both your imagination and that of your children run wild!


Supplies:

Used envelopes
1 notebook or binder cover (plastic or cardboard)
Waste paper (A4 size minimum)
1 pair of scissors
1 pen
Glue

- Peel off the used envelope so that it lies flat to obtain a flat template. There are many different envelope formats... why not switch up the fun by creating multiple templates?

- Trace the outlines around the notebook or binder cover.

- Cut all around the outline and voilà, your template is ready!

- Unfold the inside double page of an old magazine, book or newspaper and place your template on it. Trace the outlines and then cut it out.

- Fold the envelope and glue the sides together to close it. If necessary, cut out a section of a blank piece of paper to provide the area upon which you will write your recipient's address.
