Stationary Made With Herb Calendars

 

This post is an excerpt from a blog article I wrote for the Herb Companion, now Mother Earth Living magazine.  
  
Envelopes And Note Cards Made Out of Calendar Pictures

1.Take an envelope of any size, carefully unglue the edges and open it up to a flat position.

2. Place the opened envelope on a calendar picture where it would look best as a finished envelope. Trace and cut out on the lines, fold and crease to make the calendar envelope.

3. Close the bottom part of the envelope using double stick runner tape. Put a tape strip on each side of the closure flap and leave the extra paper strip on the tape until you use the envelope.

4. To make matching note paper cut out some of the designs or pictures from the scraps and glue them on blank stationery that fits in the envelope.

  1. Cute and easy - everyone has leftover calendars that are too pretty to just throw away. Now I have something I can do with them!
