Easy Envelopes

Hello everyone!

I guess you've noticed by now that every month, I've been making some kind of envelope. I used a variety of materials like a grocery flyer, brown paper bags, chocolate packaging, and tea envelopes. 


Today, I'm using gift tissue -- those thin sheets of paper for lining gift boxes or bags. This particular one is white with metallic flecks that look so fancy!

Just by folding the paper and gluing the middle and bottom ends, they instantly become envelopes.

I think they're both pretty and practical and you don't have to spend anything if you're in the habit of saving them for another use.

By adding stickers or ephemera, the plain envelope is transformed from blah to TADA!

This holiday tissue is bright and festive. How can you not reuse it? Folding, gluing and embellishing has yielded these envelopes with personality:

To package gifts or handmade cards...TADA!

To wrap game prizes, cash or gift cards...TADA!

I love gift tissue because of their bright colors and prints. But instead of throwing them after use, I turned them from blah to TADA!
