The best way really is just to carefully tear apart some envelopes you have around and trace them onto cardstock or heavy paper. :)

I agree, you don't need fancy templates - just take apart envelopes you have on hand and make your own templates. That's how I started and made tons of envelopes.

I then bought Martha Stewart's scoring board and now I only have to cut squares, use the scoring tool that comes with it, fold & seal. It's way cool. I bought it off Amazon for around $20 - well worth it. But I still use my original method for different sized envies.

I started making some yesterday and they have turned out so awesomely! One of my crafty mentors gave me a bunch of little mounting squares that work perfectly for sealing and I found a couple more templates online. I think I found a new hobby!

Making envelopes can be addicting, but I guess there are worse things to be addicted to :)

Do the envelopes all have to be mailable, or can some be small, say for ATCs & other small goodies?

They do not all have to be mailable, they can be any size!

@amarama911 making envies is SO FUN!
