Description:

We get lots of mail in security envelopes. Those are the ones with patterns printed on the INSIDE, usually in black or blue. Have you ever noticed how many different patterns there are? Well, there are a LOT of different patterns.

For this swap, you will have two partners. For each partner, you will make (and mail) ONE creative envelope with the security printings on the OUTSIDE. Now, please do more than just turn the envelope inside out. You can do collage, punchie shapes, weaving, or whatever. Just be sure to utilize the security printing on the outside of the envelope. It would be nice to use at least two different security patterns.

Then, address and mail the envelope to your partner. Inside the envelope, put a little something. A sticker, tea bag, quote, note, ephemera, ATC, postcard, origami crane. Something that will bring a smile.

Summary: Make two envelopes, with security pattern on the OUTSIDE. Send one of these to each of your two partners. With a little something inside.

Just checked out some of the security envelope pins on pinterest and now I'm really excited for this swap. Already making my envelopes!
