To continue the trend of envelopes made from children's books, here's another offering from Minikin by Stephen Cosgrove and Robin James.



No fancy envelope template this time - the pages are too small - I just fold them up as they are.

Clearly this one arrived intact and on time, because the recipient blogged about it.

More envelopes made from children's books

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.
