"How much can I fit into 1 envelope so I only have to use 1 stamp?" Story of my life when I got into penpalling and had to learn about envelope sizes and thickness and stamps and all that jazz. As someone who penpals a lot, I can 100% tell you that letters with effort are SO much more appreciated and exciting to receive than letters with a bunch of washi tape and stickers on them to replace creativity and effort. Your letter was absolutely amazing.

Because it is so special!!! I hope you will keep with this. I really am sure, people will appreciate it.

Okay like... risking to sound absolutely absurd and cliché I’ll say that it’s like fate put you in my recommendations, just a 12 minute video inspired me to put more effort in the small things I do cuz these past years I’ve been so unmotivated and unproductive even tho I used to be a very creative and imaginative person and I used to put so much effort in my paintings and crafts and do everything so extra like these beautiful letters you created. Now I’ve become introverted and asocial, laying around all day being useless , not managing to keep up with my studies... definitely disappointing yes. But something about you reminded me of that lost part of me and now I’m definitely more motivated to put more effort in bringing back that spark of creativity. So I thank you dearly . Your channel will grow into something amazing I believe.

Well if it is fate, I thank it very much- feel very lucky for you to have found yourself here! Being creative is absolutely not something that always comes easy and when it doesn't, it can be so incredibly demotivating and disheartening. Believe me, there are so many times when I feel that way as well- it's normal. No matter what it is you put effort into- even if it is small trivial things or not what you feel you are supposed to put it into- if it can bring you some joy or fulfillment, it's worth it.

Ahhh I'm so glad to hear that! The process of putting letters together is super relaxing, so I'm glad that translated in the video. Me too, old fashioned stuff is so beautiful! Tbh I've wanted to do wax seals for a long time, but never had money to buy supplies for it. When I found a way to do it with stuff I already have, it was really exciting! Thank you so much for all your sweet words as always, I'm really glad you liked it~

[@FrilledMayfly_AmberlyFerrule]

This makes me wanna cry, i wanna do this so badly!! Maybe.... maybe i should try....

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yes, please give it a try if you are interested! It's honestly so much fun to put together! Wish you all the luck with it if you do~

[@FrilledMayfly_AmberlyFerrule]

@@MechanicalFiend Thank you! So far i'm thinking the scariest part is asking the question, I might try today!

THE PRODUCTION QUALITY IN THE LETTER-WRITING SCENE!! chefs kiss!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhh that makes me super happy to hear, glad you liked it! Thank you so much for the kind words~

[@moon-rf7ku]

This video makes me feel so at peace. I feel like I’m in flower field during a sunny day hahaha.

[@MechanicalFiend]

That truly makes me so so happy to hear. If only we could all just spend a day in a field of flowers, sounds really nice right about now haha! So happy you could enjoy~

[@rachellavender4345]

You are the only youtuber who could talk in a normal voice level yet make the video so aesthetic! Idk what is ur magic but keep up the good work!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Well I must say I really don't enjoy yelling or even talking loudly so that is relieving to hear haha. Though I do think there are many people that speak at normal voice level and make incredible videos. That's seriously just so kind, super happy you could enjoy it~

[@gracelizzabeth]

Now I want to receive a letter like this

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh perhaps one day! Wish I could send one to everyone haha! And of course if you want to send one to someone else, that is also equally as fun~

[@indravandebilt4644]

This made me so happy! I used to do this when I was little and I've recently started doing this again and it's so fulfilling to do, as well as to hear how happy friends get when they receive these letters! However, you are extremely talented, also with the selfmade stickers and everything! Thanks so much for sharing and best wishes from Amsterdam!

Effort, the only currency readily available hahaha!

[@indiemood4127]

You talk about creating this because you can’t afford to purchase a gift, but I would prefer to receive this in the mail for my birthday over literally any gift you could buy at a store. This is so beautiful and thoughtful, your friends must cherish you. Xx

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh well that's super nice of you to say, really glad you could enjoy it! It's always so lovely to know that it would be so appreciated, thank you so much for all the really nice words~

[@larsheen]

This made me tear up because I don't have any friends that are so close to me right now, and my mind is also isolated. I love the part where you're ready to put them in the envelope, with the calming music. It's like everything is okay in a few minutes

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh well those times happen, you will find the right people in your life when they're meant to arrive. Really sorry you're feeling that way though, if this can bring even a little bit of comfort that makes me the happiest. Glad you could enjoy and wish you all good things in the future~

[@MBauer-jp3rs]

Dearest friend, as I was watching you, I observed myself falling in love with this marvelous creation!

[@MechanicalFiend]

To know that something such as this could bring joy to your heart, fills my own with happiness alike. This shared wonder illustrates the power held by simple joys to spread through many. Hold that love, put it into something new, and watch it multiply.

[@thefrustratedneetaspirant7777]

I'm 18, and I've decided to write letters to my future self and my future daughter/son, husband, my sister in law. This was by far the best video that has helped me to know how to start. Thanks.

[@xin4424]

This is beautiful literally wholesome if a friend send me this or if I send someone, so much effort ngl

Ahhh well that's so very nice of you to say, really glad you could enjoy it! If you ever want to give it a try and send one to a friend, I hope you do~

Aaaah I love that you aren’t just recommending products left and right but reaching us how to make them for free thank youuuu!!!! You are my lord and savious

[@MechanicalFiend]

Well at least 85% of the time, I always use what I already have around! Honestly I wouldn't be able to buy a bunch of new materials for every project, which I think is the case for most people! So happy if this could help and glad you could enjoy! Thank you for the kind words~

[@bad-girlbex3791]

This act of love genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Be well, my friend xx

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh you're too kind, thank you so much. Apologize for the tears, but hope you are well too~

[@rosamatul5381]

Omg when you called your friend “Lady of the night” I was like uhhhhh hope you know what that means cuz if you did, it changed the whole story of this letter, jk jk. Anyways the letter was so pretty and cute your friend is so lucky

[@MechanicalFiend]

It's all good, I called myself that anyway, not them! They know it's because I am basically nocturnal, so ehh who cares about whatever connotations other people give it lol. Really glad you could enjoy the letter regardless, appreciate it so much~

[@Gursharan-wt4ho]

No way i cant even imagine that letters can be these interesting tooo ❤🎉

You are insanely creative. I love how you make use of what's available to you and still end up with anazing results. Also you are so good at drawing. I adore the amount of effort you put into it. Also the shots u take for the video are so pretty.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh that's all so kind, thank you so much! Really glad you could enjoy everything! It's always the most fun to figure out how you can make stuff with what you have~

[@hasley4401]

Finding this video after 7 months and tis makes me so happy to watch! 💛It's sad that not much people appreciate the work put into writing physical letters now. It's just so beautiful and warming. You're so amazing 💛

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh well so happy to hear you could enjoy it! I think there is still a community of people that is super into making and sending letters, which is always lovely to see. As long as there are some out there keeping it alive haha! Appreciate all the kind words so much, thank you~

[@Emmy205]

I love when people make handmade stickers! They always look lovely, and I would be so excited to get those in the mail and use them in my journals!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Making the stickers is honestly usually one of my favorite parts, I love coming up with things to make in the theme, it's so fun! Ahhh I am so honored that you would want to put them in your journal, that's quite a special thing~

[@user-xn1eh8fg1p]

Oh me oh my, this is such an incredible video! It's a rare treasure to discover such a pure moment of stillness and beauty online. I can tell I will come back again and to exist in this sanctuary of wholesomeness when the absurdity of life overwhelms. Your creativity is so inspiring, thank you for sharing xx

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oh my goodness if this can be that for you, that really makes me the happiest! I wish you lots of peaceful days ahead- so glad you could enjoy and thank you so much for all the incredibly kind words~

[@KestralSabre]

i... idk if you realize the value of what you're doing. Your skill at crafting, and at turning what you have on hand into beautiful treasures, is utterly amazing. Who needs monetary gifts when this is an option?

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oh my goodness you are far too kind, appreciate you saying that so much! While I personally love receiving handmade things, I think sometimes it's much harder to value the things you make yourself for others. Either way, thank you for the kind words~

[@lonely_snail]

I love that you made a clothesline out of your graduation ropes loll😂

[@ghashiag.3088]

This is so beautiful! As someone who is a sucker for Victorian themes, I've often coffee-dyed my paper and written similar letters for my closest friends handcrafting everything from envelopes to the stickers to bookmarks. I love to see the same spirit in a much refined manner from someone with artistic capabilities like you!
