Description:

Hello to all of you who are back for more enive making fun and to all of you who are here for the first time as well.

This time we will have 4 partners and make each of the 6 Enives so a total of 24 enives.

The catch these envelopes must be made for old papers. Good paper to use are 2009 calendar, old cards, thick catalog pages, maps, old childrens books, wall-paper, sheet music, You are looking for glossy- thicker paper. Not newpaper, magazine paper or thin paper it will not hold up in the mailing process.

1.Make them a useable size for mailing not to small or to big.

  1. It has to be made out of paper that is thick enough to mail (this is a big one)

These are a lot of fun to make and super easy. Get creative and try something new while keeping things out of the landfill a win win for us all. here are a few links for some ideas to get you started patterns, http://familycrafts.about.com/library/projects/bl4.5x6envelope.htm http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/templates.htm

please mail in a differnet package (try using old packaging )so your partner can use all 6 envelopes.

4.9 or higher, filled out profile. 8 mailed/ rated swaps. please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

If you look on the past envie swap there are quite a few good ones posted by others as well.

Aw, I hope this one comes around again. I really wanted to join. I'm a newbie, but I just finished presenting a workshop for Girl Scout adults entitled "Envelop It!" I'll be looking for this one to be offered again. :(
