DYI: Mini Envelope

I am a collector of jcrew, Free People, & Antropologie magazines and for absolutely no great reason other then to flip through their colorful pages from time to time and dream of a closet filled with their threads (of course this closet would be my own). Wanting to spice up some of the 11 Eureka packaging while being environmentally friendly, I devised a mini card template and made these adorable envelopes.
It took a few try's to get the measurements right (as you can see in step 2), but after the snags where corrected, the rest of this project was a breeze. Realistically, you can find a few template designs easy on Etsy but if you are up for the challenge, then give it a try.

  1. Hi,
    I really like this small envelopes ... now where do I get some old magazines? ;) I once tried a little bag made quite similar. It's a good recycle diy.
    Have a nice weekend

    1. Hello Carmen,
      The mag's that I used get sent to my house, so I didn't have to go too far:) You could probably go online a sign up to receive their mail (jcrew.com, antropologie.com & freepeople.com). Good Luck!

      xoxo,
