Learn how to make cute DIY Envelopes using scrap book paper, magazine pages and other fun printed paper.
Years ago, when my Mom and I used to still write letters to each other, we started making our own handmade envelopes. We used everything from the Sunday newspaper comic section to old calendar pages and even our own photographs.
It’s especially fun to personalize your envelopes based on what your recipient likes.
Do they love to solve crossword puzzles? Why not use a page from a crossword puzzle book. Christmas paper for Christmas cards or take a page from a horse calendar to make an envelope for your favorite horse lover. The options are truly endless.

Any paper will work for envelope making as long as it’s sturdy enough and large enough. Here are just a few suggestions: Magazine pages, Catalogs, Scrapbook paper (many of the kits also include labels you can use for the addresses), Family Photos printed on large paper.
Handmade envelopes are not just for greeting cards or letters, either. Think Baby Shower or Bridal Shower Invitations and Christmas Party invites. Have your girlfriends over for a DIY Envelope Party!
1. Make a Blank Envelope Template
2. Outline the Template on your Paper

Those are the basics. Full step by step instructions are at my website, FiberArtsy.com at the link below.
