New Envelopes for Old!

We recently received many greeting cards when my husband retired after Pastoring for 45 years. I already found a purpose for the front sides of the cards (in a later post). But I wanted to find a real purpose. And I also had another idea.
Bunches of delicious envelopes came in the mail and were given to us at church. Many of them only had our names on the front (since I was retiring from Pastor’s Wife).
I happen to be bedridden for days at a time, and this was easy for me to do at home. I was not fastidious in tearing open the envelopes thanks to Uncle Arthur (arthritis), but most envelopes I opened cleanly.
Look how nice the envelopes looked after I folded them backwards, covering most torn edges! I found this interesting color inside three envelopes! From white, to yellow, pink, blue, and brown, I had a nice assortment of new envelopes.
And here are a couple of remade envelopes with glitter stems and a lace flower. Other envelopes can be decorated with washi tape, wax seals, stickers, markers, and just about anything you can think of. I have many Christmas cards from past years. I can’t wait for my granddaughters to help me with those. This is a fun and easy project. ☺️
