I couple weeks ago I found some super cute washi tape on etsy and I knew I could put it to good use. Cami & I have made watercolor envelopes before, but today we made little ones that she can store tiny notes in. They are a different style fold, and of course held together with cute washi tape.
Here is what we used:
• Watercolor paintings
• Paper cutter (or scissors)
• Washi tape
Using the paper cutter, I cut the watercolor into 6×6 inch squares. Then with the opposing sides we folded the corners to the center.
Folded the opposite corners, and the folds were complete.
Because washi tape is so easy to tear, Camille had fun securing all the spots that needed tape by simply tearing the size tape needed and sticking it down (tearing off additional pieces as need be after the tape was placed on the envelope).
For the top of the envelope (the part that you fold over to enclose the letter or surprise) Cami folded washi tape over the edge to give it a finished and complete look.
We made four little envelopes tonight. Adorably easy, and cute! Two of which Cami has already declared are going to be holding valentine surprise for me and Chris. “A surprise” she stated, “but I’m not going to tell you what it is.”
Oh the suspense…

What a fantastic idea! I love the sky blue pink – it’s my favorite colour.
Such cute colours, I love them together. Looks like she had loads of fun.
So cute, might make some valentine’s day….
Sweet idea and pictures – your little one is so intent…
These are adorable! Thanks for sharing.
adorable! We’ve been having so much fun with washi tape, too. I am finding it stuck everywhere in my house, though! There is currently some decorating the water filter. hm.
These are lovely and look like something my own girls would love to make. Thank you for such a fun idea! We’re adding it to our crafty to-do list : )
fondly,
