In this quick video tutorial, I show you how to create custom envelopes using patterned paper from your stash. This technique is helpful to create envelopes of unusual sizes or to match your project to the envelope for a co-ordinating look! With just a few folds you can whip-up an envelope - grab some paper, scissors, a craft knife, pencil, ruler and adhesive, it really couldn't be easier!

If you're used to making cards of a certain size, you could batch-make your envelopes so they are ready to go!
