I was feeling crafty today, so I found an easy tutorial I could do with the supplies I had on hand. I’ve been wanting to try out the Inside Out Security Envelopes tutorial from design*sponge, and it didn’t require many supplies. In fact, I modified the supply list as follows:
- Junk mail envelopes
- Steak knife (or any other sharp object)
- Mod Podge
And that’s all you need! Unfolding the envelope without ripping it is really tricky, but I did my best:
Once you’ve got it apart, it should look something like this:
After that, you glue the sides inside out, and it’s ready to mail something wonderful to a friend. I inserted a paint sample inside to make it prettier:
This seriously took me less than 10 minutes, so it’s worth trying out. Save your junk mail today and get crafty.
Just thought that I would let everyone know that Craft Tutorials has moved to crafttutorials.net

Simple, but also great at the same time
Will be saving some money on not buying the envelopes

Thanks, Nadine! I’m glad you like it. You’ll have to let us know if you make some yourself.
