I made these out of a magazine filled with over-tanned Japanese chicks over-enthusiastically modeling swim wear. I make envelopes all the time out of whatever I have around–menus, catalogs, train schedules, subway maps, I even have a whole bunch out of health brochures. One shouldn’t be surprised to get a letter from me in an envelope that tells you how to give yourself a breast exam.
Looking at my enormous stash of things I’ve made (particularly the envelopes), I’m thinking that maybe my challenge shouldn’t be to make a thing a day, but to figure out what to do with all the things I’ve already made.
Any suggestions?

Pay bills.
Write a letter, addressed to yourself, one day in the future. Repeat daily until Feb. 29th.
It would be sweet to give stacks of your envelopes away too.
OMG! That is too cool! I never thought of that! Your envelopes are fabulous!
OOOHH! I do like the idea of writing myself a letter. I wish I could get them in the mail years from now when I forgot all about it rather than having them sit in my house waiting to be opened.
You could sell them, or find some penpals, or join swap-bot.com and swap them.
You could swap some with me (i love handmade envelopes) see anything you like? let me know. Jox
Those envelopes are way too cool. How do you make them?
Very cool! I just ordered an envelope template and liner kit…can’t wait to try it out!
How about join Postcrossing and send nice postcards to people all over the world in your envelopes. I think that would be fun.
agreed. send a letter to your friend and send a letter to a stranger. Do you have an envelope making template? They look quite similar in size.
I make a template.
The simple how-to: I take apart an envelope and trace it onto card stock–an old cereal box or file folder will do the trick. Then I trace the template and cut it out. To make things go faster, I’ll cut 2-4 out at the same time. Cut it, fold it, glue the bottom. Tah dah!
