little envelopes

last weekend i made these little envelopes using origami paper, and this mini envelope template from muji, which i've also listed in my shop.
it was so gratifying just to make something, a quick project using my hands.
i still love brown kraft paper too, especially for using with cute japanese washi masking tape.
also, i tried printing with white ink on some brown waxed paper envelopes i picked up last week,
which i also really love combined with masking tape. they are not in the shop yet, but may make it there soon...

  5. I have reams of scraps that would be perfect for this! What do you use for glue? Rubber cement? Elmers?

  6. thanks everyone!


    i just used a regular glue stick, but i bet rubber cement or elmers would work just fine.

    i love them too, and they were really so easy. using the template makes all the difference; it so simple that you could really figure out your own pattern, but somehow the temple is just right. (psst, if you want your own template, they're in the shop!)
