Description:
For this swap you will make 6 different envelopes for your partner out of kawaii paper/memo sheets. There is a video tutorial/explanation by @ColoradoKate here. Some memo sheets have an envie already printed on it and you could just cut it out, fold, and glue it together. Some memos have an all-over print and would make a great envelope. Just open up a mini envelope and trace around it or use one of your cut-out ones as a template to make more! You can also use origami paper with a kawaii design or letterset papers. This swap does not have to be branded, just keep it kawaii! Please make your envelopes nice and neat! No sloppy, glue smeared everywhere, paper hanging over the edges junk! Send something that you would be thrilled to receive please.

Oooh! I'm dorkin' about this one! I think I'll make some now ^_^

I just realized they are supposed to be made out of memo paper and I printed all mine out. Would that be ok, or should I make new ones?

Eliassis 02/ 9/2015 #

Never mind I just made new ones lol

You could send the printed ones as extras. =D Hint HINT.

Yeah, I've printed some out before. I would send them as extras because sometimes the quality isn't as good.

Eliassis 02/12/2015 #

Lol! Great suggestion guys! I had already been sneakily planning too. I tried to make them big enough to send mini memos in, and they are bedazzled with glitter. ðŸ˜ (I love glitter)

For this swap, what sizes are considered mini envelopes? About 2x3?

Artdragon 02/18/2015 #

@ReadMoreBooks33 There's a ton of templates premade in the kawaii notepads. They're whatever standard size it comes as. Hope that helps ^_^

Thank you @Artdragon :-)

I've made over a dozen and they all look wonky. I'm going to drop this swap and join one in the future- after I figure out how to fold the things neatly. LOL. I love papercrafts but envelopes are not my friends. Sigh!!! Hey! Guess what I'm going to be using to send loose sticker flakes in?? ;)

Paperpusher, I use a ruler and a pen to draw lines on the inside of the envie to fold on after I cut it out. If you go back and forth a time or two, it gives you kinda like a score line to fold on.

Oh thanks, @tiggerkitn25 ! I'll try that!
