Expert Answer

You can also grab some decorative patterned paper, trace it into your envelope, cut it to size, and glue it on. This instantly transforms your plain white or brown envelope into something colorful and eye-catching!

How about a romantic theme on an envelope?

For a more romantic theme, you could opt to glue pressed flowers to the envelope and draw hearts on the front.

Question

How to tie the ribbon on the envelope?

You could try tying the ribbon into a little bow and gluing it on. Or, you could wrap it around one corner of the envelope to create stripes and glue these in place. Another option is to tie the ribbon around the envelope as you'd do for a parcel, completing with a bow.

Question

Can you just mail these or do you need to hand deliver them?

Community Answer

The ribbon and stickers may not be secure for the postal system. Drawing on the envelope is fine for mail delivery as long as you leave space for the addresses and stamps. You can also place an envelope with ribbons and stickers inside a larger envelope to keep them secure in the post.
