DIY Comic Book Envelope

Alright everyone, here we go. DIY Comic Book Envelope, easy to do with things that most crafters and DIYers have. 


You will need:


Comic Books
Envelopes
Mod Podge
Scissors
Paintbrush
Writing utensil


1) Trace your envelope onto the comic book page. Make sure that the envelope you are using is smaller than the page. You want to have some room around the envelope edges except for the pointed end that is the flap.

2) You should have something like this. Make sure you leave room around the three straight edges by cutting a 1/4 of an inch or so around the envelope outline. Cut the pointed end right on the line. 

3) Now spread a thin, even layer of mod podge over the front of the envelope and place outline over top. Press down and smooth out any bubbles.


4) Spread a bit of the glue on the left-over edges and press them down to the back of the envelope. The next step will cover the edges you fold down.  


5) Now put the flap on the envelope down and trace the rectangle that is the envelope. 

6) Spread a thin, even layer of mod podge over the back of the envelope and press the outline you traced down. Press out any bubbles.


7) After allowing the back to dry for a bit, cut out the triangle shape in the back of the envelope.

8) You can clean up any edges and you are DONE!


So a simple and easy DIY to brighten up the weekend. While letters may be out of date, they are still nice to send and receive. Who knows? Maybe this project will give you the kickstart to send a letter.
