diy packaging // paper envelopes
I love making my own envelopes because they're so pretty and they're handy to have around when you need a quick fix for packaging a small gift. These are perfect to slip a handmade necklace or bracelet into, or to house a little notecard to brighten someone's day! Or maybe you could make a few wooden polaroid magnets and wrap them in one of these envelopes!
I printed a small coin envelope template and traced it onto scrap paper. I cut out my envelopes, and used a bone folder to score and fold them.
Now that you have some envelopes made, these are your blank canvas to decorate however you want!
Decorating them is my favorite part- the possibilities are endless! I incorporated washi tape, stamps, ribbon, sequins, and small paper shapes.
Happy crafting! ♥
These are so cute! I used to be really into mail art and i loved decorating the envelopes :)
