Envelopes from Photos

this tutorial is from this website - http://www.everynothingwonderful.com/2011/04/tutorial-repurposed-envelopes-from.html

 Super quick and easy tutorial for you today. I have a drawer full of these and use them for everything - bills, letters, you name it...my mom does too, actually! I recently received an oversized catalog for baby strollers (why? I have more than one that I barely use). The pages were huge and mostly images - perfect for envelope making. I was able to make standard #10 envelopes as well as catalog envelopes - which is great because I'm always looking for a bigger envelope!

Other supplies you'll need:
     Pencil
     Glue - glue stick or craft glue - whichever you prefer
     Old envelope or envelope template. 

If this is a project you see yourself recreating in the future or with other papers you could invest in an envelope template kit, or you can print templates (you'll need to print at 100% on a larger format printer) from Designer's Toolbox on a heavy stock (mount to board for a longer lasting template). Personally, I'm perfectly satisfied with a carefully deconstructed old envelope.
