Description:

This is a swap of handmade mini envelopes, plus a mini envelope template. The size of the envelopes can be basically any size that cannot be mailed because they are too small. My intent is that we will all receive some fun mini envelopes that we can use to put small goodies in for our future swap partners.

To each of your 2 partners, you will make and send 3 different mini envelopes, along with 1 mini envelope template, so they can make some of their own. Please make the envelopes out of some sort of decorative paper (anything but plain). Into one of the envelopes, you will put a small surprise - something you think your partner might like. Please also include a note card or a letter, telling a little about you and/or your day. Lastly, please mail your mini envelopes in a larger handmade envelope – decorated in some way to make it fun.

I'm hosting this on another group, and I thought I'd give some mini envelope template suggestions for our group too:

This website has good templates:

Search "mini envelope templates" on the Web. You can buy templates - these look interesting:

I sometimes find them at thrift stores and when I do, I gently take them apart and re-trace them onto "cereal box" cardboard to make myself a new template.

When you find a template you like, shrink it down on a copier to get some different sizes.

At my local thrift store, I recently bought a rubberstamp of a template for a small envelope & a mini note to go inside it. It was only $2.00 USA - very cheap and I was thrilled with the find.
