Add flair and fancy to your holiday mailings with colored envelopes! These Pocket Folds are great spaces to stow family newsletters, loose photos, or if you’re really festive, glitter! They are available in 10 colors and 2 styles – a perfect accessory to Zazzle’s 5×7 holiday cards. Here’s a simple DIY project that shows you how to make your holiday greetings super special this year.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 5×7 Zazzle holiday card
- Coordinating Envelopments Pocket Folds (once you choose your card, you’ll find these accessories on the right side of the product page, under “Add an Essential Accessory”)
- Printed newsletters
- Adhesive (we used a simple glue stick, but double-sided tape or rubber cement would work just as well)
Here’s how you do it:
Step 1: Flip your card over and evenly apply adhesive to the back of the card.
Step 2: Place the glue-side down on the left panel of your Envelopment using your hand to smooth out any bubbles or creases.
Step 3: Fold your newsletter into quarters (fold in half, then fold in half again).
Step 4: Slip your newsletter into the pocket making sure that the front is facing up.
Add addresses to the front of the envelope using a fun, metallic pen and continue to embellish it with coordinating Zazzle holiday address labels and holiday wrappings. Then just pop it into the mailbox! It’s as simple as that. With just a little effort, you’ve added a huge impact to the presentation of your holiday messages.
What fun it is…to receive a colored envelope in the mail!
