    Tip! Glue your page and lay the glued page face down ON TOP of the upside down napkin! Easier to control, and less wrinkles and potential tears! 😁

    Good video with creative ideas ! I've been saving old church music books, now I will make envelopes out of the pages. Like the napkins too. I have old maps too. I'm excited to finally use all the things I've been saving ! I teach beginner watercolor classes to Senior citizens and the envelopes with watercolor is a great project for them with a hand-made card. Thank you!

      @@gingerseclecticlife8007 After I watched your video, I used your technique and made 12 envelopes. :) I used a different seal and will have a video soon because I am including them in one of my junk journals creations . I hope to have this video posted by the end of this weekend. I would like to invite you to Subscribe to my

    Hi Valerie! I just love this video and your envelopes. I can’t wait to try some.. I just stumbled upon your channel and I am subscribing to you. Can’t wait till I watch more. I think I might add a magnet closure. I use one magnet and one metal washer to make the closure. It saves on magnets. I’m a senior citizen and have been crafting for over 50 years. I love pushing my comfort zone and trying new crafts. Happy crafting!

  • @ruthannmolyneaux478
    @ruthannmolyneaux478 5 років тому

    Thanks for the interesting video. I enjoyed your method very much. Quick and easy. I like to have a card or something in mind for my envelopes, So they need to fit the envelope. It wouldn’t be too hard to guess the size needed with your method. I love, love envelopes, though. Even using old business ones with glassine openings are fun to work with. Good to recycle them, too, from junk mail. The insides of “safety” envelopes sometimes have neat designs. Leslie, I am so happy to find your channel.

  • @zookeeper78usa

    I was just watching another video where the Lady took the napkin, covered it with a sheet of card stock, then took a warm iron and ironed one corner and it made it easier to separate the napkin layers.
    Hope that helps.

    Here's a tip I saw recently for separating the layers on the napkin... Take a small piece of Scotch tape and put it right in the middle and pull up gently. It opens up a hole to pull away the layers effortlessly😏 I like your creative ideas and easy way of making envelopes.
