FELT ENVELOPES

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 - Create your template on a piece of card or paper to the below envelope shape. It will be 2 rectangles = 10cm high x 20cm wide and a triangle on top that is 5cm high x 20cm wide.

• Triangle 5cm x 20cm
• Rectangle 10cm x 20cm
• Rectangle 10cm x 20cm

Step 2 - Trace around this shape onto your felt sheet. Cut out with scissors or pinking shears for a decorative edge.

Step 3 - Use contrast felt sheets to create stamps or other decorations you wish to stick on your envelope.

Step 4 - Fold the felt envelop in half and use either embroidery thread or fabric glue to secure the edges of your envelope together.

Step 5 - Carefully use the scissors to cut a small slit into the centre of the felt on the back side of your envelope so you can fold the felt over and close the envelope shut.

Step 6 - Repeat this process to create multiple envelopes and send your loved ones and friends' letters.
