Envelope Tutorial using Decoupage Papers by Nikkita

 Hello everyone, 
This is Nikkita and it's time to bid goodbye to 2018 and welcome 2019 with celebrations and fun. Today, I am back with a quick tutorial on  Envelope with a belly band. It's a picture-heavy post!

ENVELOPE with a Belly-Band

TUTORIAL

You will need Cardstock, Pattern Papers/Decoupage Papers and Embellishments.

STEP 1- Take a piece of cardstock measuring 8 x 7.75 inches, score on the 8 inch side at 1/2" and 7 1/2". 

Turn 90 degrees, i.e on 7.75 inch side, and score at 1" and 4 1/2".

STEP 2- For the belly-band, take a strip of 2 X 8 inches, and score on the longer side at 3 1/2 ", 3.75",  7.2", 7.5".

STEP 3 - Remove the top corners and last corner sides from the envelope as shown in the picture below, then add tacky tape or glue and stick them together to create the envelope base.

For the belly- band, apply tape or glue to the 1/2 inch area and create a band. 

STEP 4 - Finish the envelope by decorating it using Decoupage Papers or Pattern Papers as you like.

I loved working with Decoupage Papers as they are very easy to use and you can use it in many ways from making Decoupage projects to scrapbooking.
