Hello it's Diane I'm going to show you how to make this envelope
with a string fastener. More details can be found on my website how-to-be-a-bad-artist.com
I have also given a list of materials that I've used.
For this project, you can pick any envelope
and flatten
it out by undoing the seams.
Place it on top up your chosen patterned
paper and draw around it. When you've done this,
you will need to cut it out.
Once you've cut it out, you will need to refold it
as per the original envelope.
Then you will need
two circles (I've chosen to cut out
two small flower shapes in card).
Place the card circles or flowers in position on the envelope
so that you can mark where you need to punch a hole.
Using a pencil, make a mark in the centre then
punch a hole where you've marked on the
card flowers and on the envelope. Next you will need
to insert an eyelet. I've used a Crop-o-dile tool
to set the eyelet. You need to do this
on the flap and on the middle of the envelope. It's best to do this before you
glue the envelope together because it
makes it a lot easier.
Then you refold the envelope and it's ready
to add the double-sided sticky tape.
Glue it along the middle of the envelope and at the bottom.
Now your envelope is ready. Then you add your note.
I've decided to stamp a message
on a piece of card. Place the card inside your envelope
and then you can tie it
with a small piece of string. What's good about this envelope
is that it can be used several times and it looks really pretty as well.
