Hi thank you for sharing this Video, just wanna ask, how to do the 14.4 x 21.6 cm card for envelope ? Thank you so much❤

[@veronicalake5593]

This is by far the easiest way I've seen to make an envelope! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You are so welcome!

[@judybogle7426]

Our Upcycled Life, To make different size envelopes, am I to assume I should measure just the widest part of my card I’m going to send ? And what about things that have two measurements like a credit card.

[@MOrtiz-tm4qe]

Good question. I am looking forward to the answer.

[@SharitCreations]

This is the semester and quickest envelope tutorial I have seen. I like you made it with everything I all ready have. This is the best envelope tutorial for me. Thank you!❤❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@janetchesal6964]

This is fabulous! I've started to make my own cards for special occasions and needed to make envelopes to fit the cards irregular widths. Thanks 🙂

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Wonderful!

[@suzienielsen1111]

Love the technique! If I have a specific card that I need an envelope for, how do I determine what size to make my square?

[@melissamcdonald664]

Awesome technique. I have the same question!

[@jackiebarton7]

I would love to know too 😊❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You can lay the card in the middle of the paper and make sure when you fold in the two side flops that it covers the card that will determine how big you need it

[@prosperousutensil8178]

Measure the long side of your card. That measurement needs to be half of your square measured corner to corner, with just a smidge so you can fit the card in, probably add 1/4 of an inch. So if the long side of your card is 7 in then your square corner to corner needs to measure about 14 and 1/4 in.

[@jackiebarton7]

@@prosperousutensil8178 That helps a lot thank you so much 🥰🤗❤

[@laurabaxter6159]

I appreciate that you repeated the process a few times. As a slower learner- this helps quite a bit! 😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@charlottewilson7595]

Absolutely genius....and those tiny ones would be perfect for seeds 🥰

[@OurUpcycledLife]

[@dcn9550]

Great technique, but how do you know what size paper you need for a card?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I put card in middle of paper and size from there

[@evpatch]

What size are these envelopes? How do you determine what size you make? Looks so easy. Can't wait to try.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

As long as it’s a square of paper, you can turn it into an envelope of any size

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

Thank you! I hope you have the best year yet!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you! You too!

[@susanwinkelbauer3701]

If you have a card and you need to make an envelope, how do you know what size paper to use?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Put your card in the middle of the piece of paper fold the two corners till they touch across the card and that will be how big you need your piece of paper

[@untoldexpressions]

I wish I had known this awhile back when my granddaughter was in the hospital. Just need to figure out how to size it. There’s got to be a handy way. Any ideas? Thanks

[@shunawestern9153]

I liked them, practical and beautiful at the same time. That doesn't happen very often. 🥰🇬🇧
