Need an envelope in a pinch? Forget running to the store! Learning how to make an envelope is a surprisingly useful and creative skill. Plus, a handmade envelope adds a personal touch to any letter or card.
Here's a quick guide to crafting your own:
1. **Gather Your Supplies:** You'll need paper (any size will do, but bigger is better for practice!), scissors, a ruler, a pencil, and glue or tape.
2. **Create the Template:** Find an envelope you already have or search online for a free template to use as a guide.
3. **Trace and Cut:** Trace your chosen template onto your paper, then carefully cut it out.
4. **Fold and Secure:** Fold in the sides, then the bottom flap. Apply glue or tape to the edges of the side flaps and press them firmly onto the bottom flap to create the envelope's pocket.
5. **Personalize it!** Decorate your envelope with drawings, stamps, or calligraphy to make it extra special.
Now you're ready to send your secret message in style! Have fun crafting!
