Ziptop Envelopes

Hi there everyone!

A few years ago, I made this envelope using scrapbook paper remnants:

Apart from the cute paper and adorable contents, what's unique about it was its zipper top.

I rescued the zipper slider from some food packaging, rinsed it, and snipped off the bottom portion of the bag.

I glued on the zipper slider on one side of the scrapbook paper to make a different kind of envelope...TADA! You'll find the full tutorial of this ziptop envelope here.

Well, I thought I'd make a few more. They are all made from scrapbook paper and embellished with stickers, ephemera, and rubber stamps:

And all of them have these resealable closures! They make for a quick gift wrapping solution.

That is how I turned zipper tops from food packaging from blah to TADA!
