Supplies Needed:
Reasons to make an Envelope Book:
I’ve been making envelope books for years – they serve as great little mini scrapbooks for road trips, special dates like birthdays, and even as journals. They also come together quickly and are so easily customizable for birthday gifts – you could use a gift card sized envelope to make a gift card book for a college student or new mom, etc.
Envelope Book Supply Alternatives
If you don’t have the supplies on hand, here are some alternatives you could use:
- Envelope Punch Board – You could use premade envelopes
- 6X6 paper – use 12X12 paper cut down, or opt for alternative papers – like vellum, newspaper, notebook paper, graph paper, etc.
- Adhesive – any adhesive should work fine here – just remember that liquid adhesives tend to warp lighter papers.
- Large Brad – you could opt for a large button or omit this entirely and just let the twine hold the book closed
- Twine – ribbon, garland, embroidery floss – whatever you have on hand.
