Easy-to-make pretty envelopes...tutorial


Pretty-envelopes

Well friends, you know I like to collect stuff....like I don't have enough things as it is...*LOL*



Even little cute envelopes from restaurant receipts...:)



I ran them through the Xyron Creative Station for an even layer of adhesive, then added lace fabric and cut down to size. You can use matte gel medium or other liquid glue but dry adhesive is the fastest and least messy way to get it done.


Then comes the fun part...embellishing with pretty trim! For this step, I went with a hot glue gun for instant gratification... *winks*


One of the easiest ways to dress up envelopes and make them pretty, don't you think?

This project was created for LESSology Challenge #57: Snail Mail Revolution which is to decorate an envelope.
