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.
