Template

Keira was given this wooden envelope template for her birthday. By me, that is. Umm yes, it's possible I bought my daughter a gift that I wanted to use myself. But in my defence, she had seen them in the shop a few times and asked me for one. 

Anyway, we've had some good times with it already. One afternoon we sat at the kitchen table with a big stack of papers (the envelopes shown here were made with some pages from an old gardening catalogue) and scissors, listening to our favourite songs and producing a small mountain of new envelopes for our letter-writing supply cupboard (Doesn't everyone have one of those?)

I bought the wooden template from our lovely local craft store Stitchbird though you can probably find them on Etsy too.

    Oh the envelopes are perfect but the template itself is such a desirable item. I’m off to seek one out. Thankyou Melissa

    Those envelopes are some of the coolest envelopes I’ve ever clapped eyes on.

    We have a template for envelope making, but it’s not as fancy as yours…

    Wow, that’s really neat. How do you write the address when your envelope is made with beautiful papers like these? Do you tack another little blank paper rectangle onto them?

    Did these templates fit A4 sized paper? I have some but I never use them as they fit a larger sized paper. I have so much pretty A4 paper that really should be used!

    hi emma, yes, our template fits A4 size paper… but maybe just check the measurements first if you buy one online : )
