eco envelopes

So here’s what I have been working on, some ethical packaging for all our Christmas needs!

And here is my first lot, have you ever longed for a more creative and exciting envelope? a colourful alternative to the default manila?

Well I have just the thing 'ecco envelopes' are crafted from 100% recycled material!

If like me you are a hoarder of magazines you can finally put them to good use! here is my collection of "indie envelopes" named so as they are cut out of old copies of NME, the free posters are perfect too! andbecause their glossy they are going to hold up better under the postage process!

The great thing is they can be tailored to suit anybody NME might not be your cup of tea, so why not try other popular titles such as 'Take a break', 'Heat, 'vogue'' ... 'Nuts'? It’s really up to you the possibilities are endless so get creative!!

It is a great way of recycling and really they are a piece of art in themselves! And i can see them brightening up any postmans day!

Oh and a note for next year (as I’m guessing you have not kept you old wrapping paper) why not hold on to them and craft some Christmassy envelopes for next year’s cards :)

I have made up some templates to cut around to make it extra easy for you to make your own and i will have them posted up soon, oh and the templates will be in the online version of our craft packs too! All organised and packaged up nicely to get you sorted to get crafty this christmas!
