Description

A cute little idea, Alternatively for patterned envelopes follow just steps 1 & 7 on the paper that you like.

Instructions

  1. Small img 20111016 185122 1318810034

    Start out by taking an envelope and opening it up. Place it on a piece of paper and trace around the edges. I used a small (creditcard size) envelope.

  2. Small img 20111016 185210 1318810172

    Take an image/design and make sure its the right size for your envelope. (skip if you're drawing your own)

  3. Small img 20111016 185657 1318810328

    Transfer the picture. Cut tansfer paper or newspaper to put under the image, a big black-ink ad works best placed face down. Secure both down and trace the image with a pen or pencil. Go over each line a few times to ensure the best transfer.

  4. Small img 20111016 191145 1318810515

    Remove the image and newspaper/transfer paper. Go over the outline with a marker or pen.

  5. Small img 20111016 192435 1318810739

    Use an eraser to get rid of any leftover newspaper markings.
