Create an adorable felt envelope, perfect for storing Valentine’s, using as decor, carrying as a clutch, or even storing your cosmetics!

Difficulty level: Intermediate
Time required: 30+ minutes
Age range: 12+

Things you’ll need:
3 felt sheets (two for your envelope, and the third in an opposing color for embellishments)
Scissors
Hot glue gun/glue sticks
Ruler
Rick rack **optional

Things to do:
1. On one sheet of your felt (the color you are using for your envelope) use a ruler to find the center– this can be as far down on the felt as you wish, or you can find the actual center of the entire sheet of felt. Make a small dot or mark to use for reference.

2. Use your ruler to lightly trace out lines, starting at the top right and left corners of your felt, creating a triangle shape, to act as your flap.

4. Using your opposing color of felt, create your embellishments. We created a loop style handle, simply tracing out the width of our ruler–and used the height of the felt. You can use whatever length or width that you feel is appropriate for your envelope.

5. Cut out any other embellishments you wish to add. We cut out a heart shape.

6. Lay your envelope pieces together, one on top of the other to create your envelope. Use your hot glue to securely attach left and right sides, as well as the bottom. Do not glue together the top.

7. After your hot glue has fully dried, turn your envelope inside out to create more clean looking edges.

8. Glue on your flap, as if attaching it the way it was originally, before cutting it out. Only glue the top of the flap. If you glue the sides, your envelope will be unable to open.
