Magazine Envelope

 

I made a cute card, now what do I do about the envelope?  Simple, make one!  I just used tape and a page from a magazine to make this (as seen above) envelope for my cousin's birthday.  I didn't even do it up fancy... I just folded the edges down, taped up the sides, and folded the top over tape that down... and DONE!  You can just tape down cut pieces of paper with the address or if you are feeling fancy grab up some decorative template and create a more framed address space.  With scissors and tape you can do anything.  Anyways, it's not meant to stand the test of time or anything but with all the tape I used it will make it through the mail. 

This would be great to do on cards and notes that don't have to go in the mail, and the designs are easy enough to change depending on the type/size of card.  This was for a creative 13 year old boy but if he were more into cars I could have ripped a page from automotive weekly.  If it were a friend of mine who loves gossip mags than maybe a page from US weekly.  Use your imagination.  The possiblities are endless.  Like; newspapers, books, old children's books, etc.  I think I am getting too excited. 

I'm gonna go. Bye!
