You Will Need (3 things)

  • Felt sheet

  • Scissors

Steps (7 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    first gather your supplies, the sewing machine the felt, the velcro fasenters

  2. 2

    then take one sheet of felt and cut about 2 inches off( the top/width),

  3. 3

    now on the longer peice cut the top two corners off(like the picture)

  4. 4

    now on the sheet with the corners cut off

    "put your stamp" and address on the sheet

    I used extra felt and sewed in on, you can use buttons for stamps and beads for addresses if you like. No limits on creativity

  5. 5

    now put the long sheet(stamp facing outwards) over the smaller sheet. Making sure the edges are even. Now stitch them together

    you are looking at the back of a stiched enevlope

    now on that tirangluar shaped flap, place your velcro(I used self sicking ones) and then place the other peice of velcro facing across from it
