Security Envelope Tutorial :: 10 Reasons Why I Love You

My friend Kerri inspires me. She has a special knack at making ordinary things super special—especially anything that has to do with paper. So every time I get a piece of mail from her, I smile and do the happy dance. She recently sent me a piece of mail that inspired this project.

First, doodle 10 Reasons Why I Love You onto a piece of paper.

Make sure that the doodle will fit within the window space of a security envelope. This envelope is one that my Macy's bill recently came in.
Adhere the doodled piece to the outside of the opened envelope, which will now become the inside of the envelope. You can use a glue stick or some washi tape.
Fold the envelope so that the security lines are on the outside of the envelope and use washi tape to secure the sides.

Write and doodle messages onto shipping tags, and insert them into the envelope.

Secure the top flap with more washi tape.

Doodle a little something cute for the left hand corner and adhere.

This project is meant to be hand-delivered to the recipient but if you write the person's address in the window and attach a stamp, it can be delivered through the mail system.

Happy crafting. :)
