Description:
You all know how this works. You handmake the entire envelope. No stickers on a plain envelope. Make them out of magazine covers, pretty card stock,calendars, wallpaper, maps etc. Google if you need instructions or tear apart an envelope and trace it. Really cool to do and great to send and receive in the mail. Make them large enough for note cards or letters. Smaller ones can be sent as an extra if you like. Newbies only with completed profile. USA only Make 3 for 2 swappers totaling 6 No 1's this year or 2012 3's I will check and decide if ok Questions just comment below Don't fold them when you send.

International????

Do we tape the envies closed? Sorry newbie here. ;-)

@Sulieen I don't think so. :) The idea is to make them so the recipient can use them in a future mailing. :)

What is the usual size for the main envelopes, please?

plushiecat 09/23/2013 #

Also (sorry for double-commenting!), what do you mean when you say ' don't fold them when you send them'? Do we make them into an (unsealed) envelope or does the recipient put the envelope together?

plushiecat 09/23/2013 #

Sometimes swappers fold them to get them in a smaller envelope they are sending them in, that's a no no!

And envies made out of cheap or thin paper like a magazine won't hold up .

plushiecat 09/27/2013 #

Okay! I have just gone through my (copious!) stacks of paper that would be envie-friendly. O.o There's gonna be a couple of happy people soon, promise! giggle

Styxjustrocks is that why you did not sign up? I never had any problem sending envies like that I received in the mail. But wouldn't chance it to overseas mail.
