How to Make a String and Button Envelope

String and Button Envelope

When I was in college, I worked as a student assistant in the Humanities department. The mail system at school utilized these large, yellow manilla envelopes, some with these ties that you looped around these plastic circles to close and secure the envelopes.

Since then, I’ve seen envelopes using a similar method at stores like Paper Source and figured they couldn’t be that difficult to make. Here’s a video tutorial on how to make these string and button envelopes.

Supplies Needed:
1 8″ square solid card stock (outside)
1 7″ square patterned paper (inside)
Kraft card stock or chipboard
3/4″ circle punch
2 small eyelets
Foam mounting squares
Hole punch and eyelet setter (I used a Big Bite in the video)
String (You can use whatever you want here–Linen thread from Stampin’ Up, Karen Foster’s Scrapper’s Floss, Janlynn Value Pack Cotton Embroidery Floss)
