Requirements:1. Magazines. Glossy, corporate-reports are good. Travel brochures are also great. The glossy ones are good to use as they are harder to recycle, because of the gloss.
2. Used envelope to take apart
3. Used cereal box to glue envelope onto, to make a template. Make a window template, so you can see what the envelope will look like on the front.
4. Pen, to draw around template onto paper.
5. Scissors to cut out envelopes
6. Glue of some sort, to stick sides of envelope together.
Optional: Ruler and an old pen which has run out of ink, to use to score lines to make folding easier and more accurate. Sticky labels to put on the front, to make an area on which to write the name and address (or just use a light-coloured piece of magazine paper)

Thanks for this - what an excellent idea for something for the kids to do, maybe for birthday cards, or similar.
I just found your blog, it was a great read! A while back i actually found a british labels company who printed me some sticky labels for a really low price. If you are at all interested then it may be worth taking a look at their website as they do all different types of label printing.
