hand made envelopes diy

items you will need
1. scissors
2. wood grain contact paper or other paper( 2 pieces ) one for the front and one for inside.
3. an envelope torn apart( this is your template)
4. adhesive
5. sharpie
my adhesive I used or use a double side tape.
trace envelope onto the back of the wood grain contact paper. You will also trace it on the second piece of paper.
looks like this. You will cut out both and glue them together.
fold the flaps from the left side and right side add adhesive .
I hope these instructions are easy to follow.

Now all you do is add a cute letter or hand made card mail it off to your friend. I used my first one on my art journal page but I am for sure going to mail this one off to one of my friends. I would love to see what you use to make a cute envelope.

take care xoxo gina
