It’s often the little touches that make things special. When it comes to invitations, holiday cards, and thank you notes, a plain envelop does the job, but an envelop lining makes it that much more special. Follow these simple instructions to dress up a birthday party invitation, a wedding invitation, or even just a note to a friend by creating a lined envelop.
1. You will need:
- Patterned custom tissue paper that matches your theme
- Plain envelopes
- Double-sided tape
- Scissors
- Pencil
2 (a). Create a cutting template. Open the flap of an envelop. Cut the glue strip, and trim around 1/8″ off of the remaining 3 sides. This will be your tracing template for the size of the linings.
3 (b). Trace and cut tissue paper using your template. Position the template on the tissue paper, trace, and cut.
3 (c). Place and secure the lining. Slide the liner into the envelop. Secure the top edge of the liner with a strip of double-sided tape.
Voila! Your envelops are now fancy and will help set the tone for the exciting note or invitation inside!
