ManE INTL-3 Envies from Recycled Paper

For this swap you will make 3 envelopes for 1 person.

Envelopes must be made from repurposed paper...ie maps, book pages, calendar pages, wrapping paper, magazine covers, etc. the point is to use something you’ve been saving because you like the way it looks...this will give you an opportunity to use it! Each of the 3 items should be from a different paper source.

The size of the envelopes should fall into USPS first class mailable sizes, meaning it must be at least 3-1/2 inches by 5 inches, and no more than 6-1/8 inches by 11–1/2 inches. If you’re using metric, that equals at least 88.9mm x 127mm, no more than 155.702mm x 285.75mm.

Or just Google! There are lots of helpful and free resources out there!

When you’ve made your 3 envelopes, pack them up in another envelope, and DECORATE that packaging envelope with some more recycled papers! I like to use scraps of vintage book pages, scraps of maps, scraps of Kraft paper, etc. Then mail it all to your partner!
