\"make
\nI like my envelopes to be sturdy, sometimes paper doesn’t cut it when you want to include something that needs a little extra protection. Also plain white envelopes are BORING, why be blah when it’s so easy to make something really special that won’t cost you a cent.
\nMagazine covers are abundant, why not recycle them into eye catching, sturdy envelopes that won’t get lost in the mail.
\nThis envelope was made from a Marimekko catalog cover, but you can use any front or back cover with a colourful design. Sewing instead of gluing is an easy mess free alternative especially if you are short on time.

You will need:<\/h2>\n

Magazine cover
\nScissors
\nSewing machine
\nSelf adhesive address label
\nAdhesive tape or a cute sticker<\/p>\n

How to:<\/h2>\n

\n\"make
\n-Crease about two fifths of the distance from the bottom and then again at around one fifth from the top, cut the corners off the top flap.
\n\"Make
\n– Fold up and sew sides with a long straight stitch
\nPaper Sewing Tips: <\/strong>
\nSet your stitch length to maximum to avoid cutting through paper.
\nPaper will blunt your needles so use old ones that are too blunt for fabric.

\n\"Marimekko
\nNow it’s ready to post to your faraway friends.
