Love these great ideas!!!❤

[@minkgin3370]

Yes….there are some good ideas here….Thanks. I love making pockets out of envelopes, & I also like turning the Junk-mail ones inside-out. As you say, there are some interesting patterns on the insides & some are so faintly printed that they can be used for journalling.

Loved these ideas! I wind up with so many envelopes and for some reason that;s what I grab when making lists. But I think this would be a better solution to upcycling them. AND since I;m going through trying to purge things, I;m finding old letters & envelopes that I can use for that vintage look! Thank you!
