DIY Envelopes

If you plan on mailing any personal letters out anytime soon try making your own envelop to put the card in.  It’s fairly simple and you can use just about any type of paper you want (magazine pages, newspaper, ect.) Just take a blank envelope and unfold it, then trace the envelope onto the paper that you wish to make the new envelope out of.  Then cut out the tracing and carefully fold and past the envelope in the same places the original envelope was folded and glued.  And there you have it a personalized one of a kind envelop to send your letter in. 

Below are some pics of DIY envelopes I found that other people have done :)

DIY Door Headboard

Turn an old door into a headboard. You’ll first need a door, the one here is a solid wood door that was found at a local salvage yard.  Then add a post to each side of the door.  You can also add a piece of molding to the top of the headboard to give it a more decorative/formal look.  Then paint it whatever color you want and then paint a coat of sealer on it.  You can also sand down the edges to give it a worn or distressed look if you like (which you can see in the up close picture of the top of the bed post in photo 4 ).  This project took a couple of days to complete so it would make a great weekend project! :)
