Step-By-Step Tutorial
1. Cut your felt to 6”x 11”.
2. From the bottom, fold at 4” and 8”. The two even sections will make the body of the envelope and the smaller section will be the flap.
3. In the smaller section, put a dot at the center of the edge then draw lines from the dot to the outer edges where it will fold (8” mark). Cut at those lines to create the triangular shape of the flap.
4. Stitch the sides of the envelope using the ‘whip stitch’. (see our video)
5. Glue a wooden heart on the outside tip of the triangle. The envelope will remain unlatched from the body of the envelope.
6. Fill the inside with treats or cards!
