Recycled Catalog Pages

I've made these before, but last night I decided I wanted to fill a thrifted vintage recipe box full of catalog envelopes.


I save my Anthropologie, Free People and various other catalogs because I find the photos beautiful and inspiring.  Instead of having ripped pages filling binders, I get the same effect from cutting and folding them into envelopes.  I use a plastic envelope template I purchased at Michael's years ago, but you can use any envelope you have around.  Just trace, cut, fold and glue up the sides.

 

I use masking tape as a label to write the recipient's address on.   I also tape the flap shut with masking tape and write on my return address.  

Everyone loves receiving a little piece of artwork in the mail!
