For this month’s re-make I was inspired by my lovely friend Alexandra, who showed me some snail mail she was sending out to friends and family that she had folded up in scrap paper instead of an envelope. These are so cute and unique, and such a pleasant surprise for the recipient. Not to mention eco-friendly! Look for fun, colorful pages that aren’t too busy (we don’t want to give the mailman a headache!). I included a tutorial after the jump, but these will differ depending on the size of what you are mailing, I suggest playing around with it a bit before you start gluing and taping!
I’d love to see your versions! Comment below with a link if you try it!
Contact me to be featured in next month’s Re-make of the Month!
