Martha Stewart Countdown #54 Making Custom Envelopes

Can you believe in the early part of the 19th century, letters were not mailed in envelopes. Instead, they were folded and the addresses placed on the outside of the sheet. A homemade card certainly calls for an envelope that’s equally as special. It’s easy to create one that’s customized to the size and shape of your card. Plus if you have something “special” to mail you can design your OWN unique envelope. Let me tell you THESE BABIES ARE EASIER THAN I THOUGHT!

Tools and Materials
Paper or card stock
Card
Triangle or ruler
Bone folder and Scoring Board
Scissors or Paper Trimmer
Glue stick or double stick tape

If you don’t have a scoring board you can click on the link HERE to see the directions on how to make with with just a ruler and pencil {pretty much}.

I recommend using a paper trimmer to get your paper to it’s exact measurement.

You can use the scoring board to check your measurements when you are done.

What’s really cool is the scoring board comes with this little device that allows you to make any size card. It’s very easy to understand!

This is what it should look like after you scored the paper! FYI don’t press too hard because it will CUT the paper!

Use double stick tape because it’s the easiest thing for this part!

You will notice that all we are doing is folding the triangles over each other!

Bet you had NO idea that you could make your very own envelope! Hope you have fun making tons and tons of these babies…
