Bead Mag Stationary


1. Take an envelope u already have, unfold it so u have a nice template to work with.

2. Get an old magazine and find the pages you want for your envelopes. I went with a bead catalog for mine.
3. Trace the envelope onto the mag page then cut out.
4. Fold it up and glue to edges of the sides to the edges of the bottom flap.

5. Add some sticky adress labels if you'll be sending them. (They can be sent in the mail just like the store bought envelopes.)

You have some cute little envelopes now = )


6. For the paper, I glued facts about the beads right over the "Thank You" that was originally on the paper.

Green Crafts


1. My yummy wallet. The front is a recycled Reese's bag. (I love Reeses!!!) Back is just a fabric scrap. With some cute little pink, orange and purple hearts.


2. This plain green tee was turned into a mexi-masterpiece with some cross stitching. The sugar skull is inspired by El Dia de los Muertos, The Day of The Dead. I was drawn to the bold and bright colors of the Mexican crafts.


3. My turtle bookmark. I crocheted the turtle and used soda can tabs for the marker part.


4. This Super badge was made from recycled materials! I started with a circle of cardboard (from a bed sheet I bought) then layered circles from my son's Game Informer magazine. Put Mario on top with a puffy paint border, hot glue a safety pin on the back, and enjoy!!!

IF U WOULD LIKE A DETAILD HOW-TO JUST COMMENT ME AND I'LL GET ON IT!
