Mini Envelopes For Journals



\
You can create journal envelopes with small pieces of scrap paper.



We all have those bits of paper left over from our paper projects, but instead of throwing those papers away, why not recycle them into delightful paper journal envelopes. With a minimal number of supplies, you can create some sweet additions to your scrapbook pages, art journals, and junk journals. 

In these types of envelopes, the right flap should overlap the left side slightly. You can apply glue to the edge of the bottom flap and fold the bottom flap up. Apply glue to the bottom flap and fold it back up. Apply glue to the bottom flap and fold it back up. Fold the top flap down and you are all done! 

Supplies

  • Rectangular pieces of cardstock
  • PVA glue
  • Bonefolder or ruler
  • A die-cut flower, ribbon, or other shapes
  • Beads, lace, or other decoration
  1. Take the top of the paper rectangle in both hands. Turn the two sides of the paper inward until you create a point at the top of the paper. Make the corners as even as possible. Use the bone folder or a ruler to make good creases.


2. Now, fold over the point of the piece till the point sits on top of the inside of the paper. Again use the bone folder to make good creases. Make the fold as even as possible.

3. Bring up the bottom half of the paper to meet the top and create the envelope. Use the bone folder to create strong creases. 



4. Glue the tabs on the flap. Add a die-cut to the bottom to hold the flap. Only partially glue the die-cut so that the flap will fit in, You can trim the flap to make it fit better

5. Add any decoration to the envelope. You can open the strip to add any pictures, decor or journaling.

You can make these envelopes in any size that you would like. Use printed paper, vellum, or solid paper. You could also use glitter paper. There are no rules, just use your imagination and what you have on hand,
