Parental supervision is recommended

Give your pen pal a surprise with wallpaper envelopes and stationery. Kids and other crafty correspondents will have fun recycling old wallpaper into nifty letter writing supplies.

What you'll need:

  • Outdated wallpaper sample books
  • Small mailing envelope
  • Cereal box cardboard
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Glue

How to make it:

  1. Go to your local wallpaper store and ask for outdated wallpaper sample books - they are free.
  2. Take a small mailing envelope and carefully pull the glued edges apart so you have a pattern.
  3. Trace the envelope on a piece of cardboard (cereal boxes work good) so that you have a durable pattern.
  4. Place your cardboard pattern on the wallpaper and trace.
  5. Cut out, fold and glue.

Tips:

Use leftover wallpaper scraps that don't have writing on the back to cut out rectangles that can be folded and made into stationery.
