\nI recently signed up to be Creative Pen Pal – a fun project organised by Magdalena from The Craft Revival. It’s been such a long time since I actually wrote a letter (on a piece of paper by hand), that I couldn’t resist signing up and meeting a new friend. My pen pal is in Chile which is very exciting! I’m not really a paper person so I don’t have a big collection of cute stationery on hand. So rather than send my letter in a boring old office stationery, I made my own envelope with some interesting scrapbook paper I had laying about.
\nYou can use this easy technique to make envelopes of any shape or size, all you need is an old envelope to copy…
\n<\/p>\n

You will need:<\/h2>\n

An envelope you wish to copy
\nDouble sided scrapbooking paper or thick wrapping paper
\nPencil
\nScissors
\nGlue or tape
\nScrap paper or adhesive label<\/p>\n

How to:<\/h2>\n

\"make
\n1. Open up the envelope and lay flat on scrapbook paper. Trace shape with pencil.
\n2. Cut out.
\n3. Crease and refold.
\n4. Either tape or glue side flaps to secure.
\n5. If your paper is dark or heavily patterned you may want to tape or glue on a label to the front.<\/p>\n

You may want to trace your envelope shape onto some heavy card and make a more robust template if you will be making lots of envelopes.
\n\"post
\nTime to get letter writing and then it’s off to the post box!<\/p>\n
