Craft of the Month - Envelope Booklets

In honor of Independent Bookstore Day on April 27th I thought I would make my own book...or booklet I should say. 

Here's what you'll need:

10+ envelopes (they must have a v-shaped flap)
Glue
Scissors

  1. Put glue on the sticky side (the part you would lick) of the v-shaped edge of your envelope. 
  2. Flip the glue side down and put it into another envelope until the v-shape is inside the other envelope. Press down and fold first envelope back like a book.
  3. Put glue on another envelope, flip and stuff it into this envelope. Continue this until you have the desired amount of pages in your booklet. 
  4. There will be a little v-shaped tail from your first envelope that you can just cut off.
  5. There you have it...a perfect little booklet. I cut out pictures and glued them into my booklet, but you could attach pretty paper, lined paper, quotes...whatever you want to make yours. 

Enjoy!
