I Recycle Old Magazines And Turn Them Into Envelopes For My Christmas Cards

ADVERTISEMENT

All you need is this DIY cardboard cut out. Place it on paper, trace it, fold it, and create your own envelopes.

I started doing this because I was out of envelopes and the stores were closed in lockdown, so this year my friends and family get a more colourful envelope with their Christmas card.

I used to do that, many years ago, when I was at college. I didn't use adverts or magazine images, though, I used decorative paper bags the local shops used to put stuff in. I still make storage boxes myself, from time to time.

That is great! I was always keeping all paper bags to do something with them but too much stuff, too many ideas, too little time = mess. :(

This would be a great idea for sending travel photos to older people that don't do internet

They'd probably love the thought and the photos. It's too easy today to forget that most of us probably have family members who don't use the internet and&or social media and are too easily left out of family updates.
