DIY :: Mini Envelopes

Mini Envelopes: A great way to use up paper scraps :) Inspired by this fabulous post I found via pinterest, I decided to take apart a mini envelope (2.5"x4.25") I had in my studio. I created several of these cuties and then incorporated them into a journal page and a gift wrap idea. I have created a template from the envelope I used that is available at the end of this post to save and print.

These cuties are perfect for the upcoming holiday season -- they will fit a little card or giftcard and could be made to coordinate with wrapping paper and add a fun whimsy to a present :)
As I was photographing, my sweet Joshua was loving the present and kept going for it. I love that I caught his cute little hand in this shot :)

Want to make your own mini envelopes? Right click, save and print on 8.5"x11" paper. Cut out and trace around on decorative paper, cut and adhere per the directions on the template.
