Sturdy Mail Envelopes

Cornflower Blue Sturdy Mail Envelopes

Links of entry

I showed before how to make mail envelopes from gift wrapping or the like, but sometimes mail envelopes are too flimsy (sometimes much too flimsy ;-)) and one needs something sturdier.
Then you simply make mail envelopes from cardboard.
Cereal box seems to look nice ;-))
(By the way: we had a TetraPak CD case before).

However I doubt that you then can make a gift bagalope from your sturdy mail envelopes ;-)

I presented several things already about what to do with plastic bottles, but I’ve never seen such a shy plastic creature before.
I find them cuuute! :))

Create a Travel Journal

When I traveled I mostly wrote a kind of diary and afterwards I often made a photo album. I’ve never had the idea of creating a real travel journal.
Next time I really want to give it a try – in the same way that is shown here.
And if it won’t happen for any reason: you can certainly create a travel journal of a fictitious travel, too (best wishes to all those who think that I’m talking about them ;-))).

I presented already how I’m making paper beads, somebody shows here most beautiful other (also paper) beads, the ones on the picture are made from woodchip wallpaper.
Aren’t they beautiful?

Well, such a coaster from old magazines is surely heat-proof.
And certainly not difficult to make, you actually only need folded paper strips of equal width.
And if you don’t have enough paper simply make some jewelry ;-))
