It’s very easy to use a template to make your own envelopes. While I wouldn’t want to make hundreds this way, it’s a fun creative element to add to your handmade cards. The advantage of templates is that you don’t need any special tools – just scissors and glue – and can use any type of paper.
You can make your own template by carefully unfolding an envelope and tracing it onto heavy paper. If you would like to use one of my templates, you can download this PDF of three sizes: an A2 announcement (side flaps, fits on 8 1/2 x 11 paper), an A1 (or 4 Bar) baronial, and a #17 “Mr & Mrs” that’s perfect for gift cards.
