Envelope Folder - Using up your stash Project 7

Hello Crafters

Back today with another quick project to use up your stash.

I had A4 envelopes left over form some large cards I had used for some other projects, but if you do not have these you could use a good quality A4 envelope .

Required

A4 Envelope

2 sheets of 12 x 12 card

1 piece of lace to edge the flap

Measure front and back and cut pieces of card to cover , leaving a small border

Measure the flap and cut 2 pieces to match the shape, although they can be longer than the existing flap.

Glue one piece on and cut and glue with Pritt stick or hot-glue gun to the lower edge of the flap

Glue the lining piece of card over the top

It is easiest to use ribbon to close the envelope as this allows for some expansion and is less likely to rip than adding pins. You could use a large magnetic clasp but this needs to be added before completing the flap, to allow the back of the clasps to be covered.

 As I love pretty stationery, this will be a welcome addition to my writing papers or I may use it to store my store vouchers or bills.

As these can be made very quickly you could make half a dozen to store your craft stickers etc or wrap the stack with ribbon and give to a crafting friend.
