Loaded Envelope Flip

Inspired by YT happycrafter , Lisa Goss

Lisa gave me permission to host this swap. Our swap has an ENVELOPE twist to it. We are flipping HANDMADE ENVELOPES instead of tag pockets.

Please click this LINK to view the YouTube video for a visual explanation. Remember we are using ENVELOPES not tag pockets.

For this swap you will have one (1) partner and create five (5) Envelopes with required items inside and four (4) additional goodies.

Theme/color/style is sender's choice, so you can get started.

Minimum Envelope size is 3 x 3 inches, there is No Maximum Envelope size.

You may use different sized envelopes to flip as well as different style envelopes. All envelopes must be handmade, so no store bought envelopes.

You must have a hole in EACH ENVELOPE or a way to attach it and flip. Use hole enforcers or eyelets to help if using holes. You don't want your envelope to rip while it flips. Use a binder ring, or jute/twine for it to flip.
