MAE: Wonderful Washi Envelopes!

For this swap you'll be creating 2 envelopes (mailable size) for 1 partner and each envelope will feature a different type of washi tape!

Since the focus of this design is on the washi tape you use and the designs you create with it, feel free to use pre-made envelopes and just jazz them up with washi. You may also create the envelope before washi-ing it.

Here are some suggestions:

• try to use more than one washi tape on each envelope--coordinating patterns and prints look so nice together

• cut pretty little snippets from multiple rolls and create a washi collage

• use washi horizontally and vertically on your envelopes

• make certain to press down the edges of your washi so they won't peel in transit to your partner. I like to use a bit of glue under edges or a tiny piece of packing tape on the edges to secure them

• cover one whole envie with tape--it looks so pretty!

• washi just the edges of an envelope

These are just suggestions; you may create your envelopes any way you choose, so long as washi is involved. Feel free to add other elements to your envies--rubber stamps, hand drawings, etc.

Please do your best work, send on time, remember to rate your partner, and have fun!
