Thank you for inspiring me to try and decorate my envelopes a little.
I love upcycling and used what I had: Pages of an old dictionary to make the envelope, pictures from magazines, printed vintage postal stickers, file cards…
And finally I found a way to use the small pictures from the back of an old calendar. I never knew what to do with them and hesitated to throw them away.
Because of the dictionary pages the envelopes are astonishingly light. I thought they would be heavier due to the decoration. But the pages are thin but not transparent.
I bought a coloring book with many beautiful artwork few years ago but i don’t have time to coloring them.
Hence, i use them to made an envelope .
This is the one i made today.
Nice.
Last year, a friend offered 2 coloring books but I’m not into that. I tried just a bit with watercolor pencils, aqua pen and well…it’s ok…for the big illustrations. When it is supposed to be relaxing for some, it rather annoys me with the tiny sections. Just not used to do coloring.
So, I did not try it yet but thought about doing envelopes from it too. I thought about offering some pages to my pupils too.
I don’t want to sound patronizing, but do you know that you can answer to more than one person in one post? You can either address them with @username (so they’ll get a notification) or quote their post. For quoting, mark the part you want to quote and then a little window with “quote” will appear, on which you have to click.
It’ll look like this:
I always wonder why they don’t put all the stamps in only one envelope. Sometimes I get only one stamp in this big envelope. Crazy.
I recycle them for some time now and decorated them with scraps of papers, added some Nuvo Jewel drops/Crystal drops and these stickers I did.
Just not used to do coloring.
