Add a little spice to letter sending with this fun DIY. I used to always have magazines around and now, I always have catalog issues! I didn't want to completely throw them out, so I came up with a unique way to recycle, reuse & send beauty around the world.
What you will need:
- Ruler
- Tape
- Scissors
- Round Corner Puncher (optional)
- Pencil
- Magazines/Catalogs (I'm using antro & boho)
- Envelope templates [Download here: shape 1, shape 2, shape 3]
(you could always deconstruct an envelope and use that as template)
Choose the pages you wants to use. Trace the templates on the pages with a pencil (I use the ruler as well to be a little more precise) and cut the shape with scissors. Decide which part will be the front and fold opposite to it, shown in the video. If needed, round the corners. Tape to hold shape in place. Put letter in, add a stamp & addresses, and mail it! Easy, simple, fun & green :)
I'm also opening the penpal exchange to girls who are interested! It's something I personally love doing. My letters have gone to Italy, India, Africa, UK, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic & within the US. I'm open to talk about the things of God, books, photography, music, recipes & life experiences.
Requirements:
- Girls ages 13-25 (Under 18 should have parents consent)
- International citizens
- Blog owners (for safety reasons)
