One of the sponsors for the
Alt Summit conference was
Citizens of Humanity. They are a company that specializes in jeans. For the conference they brought a very beautiful magazine, and I grabbed one thinking; "Yeah, I can take this, no problem!" Well, no! It was heavy and very big, but did I mention beautiful? And the paper was just too amazing to throw away, so I did the best I could to save the nicest pages thinking they would be perfect for envelopes, and since I'm a "snail-mailer" I'm always in need of envelopes. It is the simplest activity. Here are some instructions just for fun!
 |
| Gather the pages of your beautiful magazine, the ones you don't feel like parting with. |
 |
| Take apart an envelope, in my case it is a size A6 from Paper Source and trace it. |
 |
| Cut it. |
 |
| Fold it and glue it |
 |
| Write your letter and adorn the envelope as you wish |
 |
| Here is my collection of "new" envelopes. I'm admiring them a bit longer before sending them out! |
"
To get a letter, you must send a letter." It is the
Letter Writers Alliance motto. If you are in need of a pen pal check them out.
Have a very crafty Sunday!
