STEP TWO: CUT
Now that you have the template printed it is time to cut it out.
STEP THREE: FOLD
The template has numbers on it to make it easy to fold this correctly.
Fold “1” then apply some glue on top of it. Then you will fold “2” over it and stick it with “1”.
Next, you will fold “3” and glue it to complete the basic envelope.
STEP FOUR: ADD STRING
It is time to add the string or floss you are using. This will allow you to clasp the envelope.
Cut a 4-5 inch long section of string and glue it to the back top portion of the envelope.
STEP FIVE: ADD BEADS
Take 2 very small pearl beads. Glue one on the middle top part of the envelope and the other on the middle of the envelopes top fold.
This allows you to bring the string around the front and loop it around the beads for a cute closure.
All you have left to do is decide how to use these around the house.
