Here you find a detailed tutorial for the basic booklet made by @TerryF (Thank you :)):

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VVd7NdO1KigtlFyGvhovt4vjnJjr6hyBOvmoa1g-YuY/edit?pli=1

Pls view both links, before you join, thank you :)

  • Use 3 handmade envelopes around A7 size, either use a nice patterned paper or brown paper as in the pinterest link
  • Use tape for the borders and edges (in the pinterest link they used the blue/white/red one)

  • decorate the booklet in the theme "airmail/mail";
    Decorate each envelope. The main focus will be on the front of the booklet, but pls also decorate the inner side of the booklet a little bit.
    Ideas are rubber stamps, stickers, tape, used postage stamps, drawings,... (You can always use the pinterest link as an inspiration.)

  • fill one envelope with mail and/or airmail related goodies (postage stamps, airmail labels, faux postage, mail related stickers, tape samples,....really anything that has to do with airmail / mail goes)
  • the other 2 envies are Sender´s choice, maybe include a letter about you and small flat goodies you think your partner might like.

Pls use common sense, don´t just put one sticker in an envelope, on the other hand, don´t stuff them otherwise the booklet will get too bulky.

Looks like so much fun, great idea!

Thanks :), but I just stole the idea from Pinterest :D

I pinned this idea on Pinterest the other day - it is so adorable! I've already made a couple of similar envelopes and used them in swaps. Definitely signing up!

Do you put the booklet in another evelope or do you send the booklet itself without envelope?

betty194 07/10/2014 #

That´s a good question:). No, you don´t send the booklet itself, it wouldn´t survive internationall shipping I´m afraid and it´s also to small for most countries to mail. You put the booklet in an envelope and then mail it.

The 3 envelopes are 74x105 mm?

betty194 07/11/2014 #

Each of the envelope should be around A7 size (74x105 mm). But that' s not so strict. They can be a little larger or smaller too. Just make shure they all have the same size.
