A Multi-Pocket Envelope

How are you guys doing?

If you're ready for some crafting, we will turn a brown paper bag from blah to TADA!

I'm using a brown paper bag with a non-gusseted bottom that I cut in half.

I'll only be using the bottom part of the paper bag.

Fold the paper bag in half and glue the bottom and outer edge together. Allow the glue to dry.

We should have three inner pockets within the envelope.

Decorate the envelope with collage and rubber stamps

Do the same for the other side of the envelope.

Because the envelope has many pockets, we can add different paper goods inside like bookmarks and handmade cards...TADA!

Write sweet messages or favorite quotes on the cards and tuck them inside the envelope. Don't you agree that this is one adorable package?

If you want to mail this, put it inside another envelope.

And that is how I turned a brown paper bag from blah to TADA!
