for the last month and a half, i have been in wedding planning mode to the extreme. i LOVE planning events, parties, and such. now, i literally feel like i was born to plan weddings my wedding {there is no way i could put up with other brides}. anyways, i am on a mission to make my own decorations, stationery, etc. whenever possible. when i realized that string envelopes were either expensive or difficult to find in the specific size that i wanted, i decided to make my own. i guess these are technically semi-diy since i bought the envelopes and just added the string closure aspect. regardless, i got the exact envelopes that i wanted. you could make your own envelopes out of cardstock to make any size that you want.
supplies:
-envelopes
-cardstock
-mini brads
-string
i used my cricut to cut small discs from the cardstock. you can use a paper punch if you don’t have a cricut.
use a brad to attach a disc to the center of the envelope flap. use another brad to attach a disc to the center of the envelope, directly below the disc on the envelope flap.
cut a piece of string to the length desired and wrap one end around the top disc. wrap the other end around the bottom disc to close the envelope.
