Never to young for handcrafted gifts
This project idea started out as a present for my nephew's first christmas.
The envelope is hand stitched from white felt and especially personalised. I used a scrap of snowman fabric to create a stamp and pretty heart button to secure the contents safely.
11cm tall x 13cm wide

Cut a small scrap of fabric for the 'stamp' approx 2.5cm x 2.5cm depending on the design of your fabric. Using a single strand of red embroidery thread sew the 'stamp' to the front of the envelope, positioning it in the top right hand corner.
