I made these envelopes for the Letter in a Handmade Envelope #2 swap on Swap-bot.
Awwww!!! Isn't this cute? These pages all came from Minikin by Stephen Cosgrove and Robin James.
I loved the Serendipity Books when I was a kid, so I looked specifically for these when questing for books to use for handmade envelopes. The pages are a bit small, so one just has to tape the edges, but I think they're worth it.
Here's the second one, with more postage because it headed off to Canada.
I will also say that the pages of these books are nice and thick, so I didn't worry about these envelopes being too flimsy to make it through postal sorting machines.
Those are so adorable. You've inspired me - I'm going to have to start going to yard sales looking for children's books that will make good envelopes. (^o^) Jp in Ca
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to inspire you, Jan!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your little bat icon.
These are wonderful. I agree with Jan - watchout old childrens books!!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI also like to buy old books and use the pages in different ways, but I have done it only with text books. Now I have to start to look for children's books with pictures also! Thanks for the idea!
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautiful, all of them. I like very much the drawing as well the colors of Nature :D
