Hello everybody! I'm just enjoying a quiet night at home and I started making these little notebooks I saw here, with some empty food boxes I had lying around. And then another idea hit me...the boxes on the small side could be used as envelopes! I thought it'd be neat to send a letter in an envelope like that. What I did was just flatten the box out and cut off all the little flaps on the long side. I cut out the back of the box and the front, but with the front I left the top flap attached. I'm sorry if I'm not explaining this well! Then I just matched up the front and back and taped all along the bottom and sides so there aren't any holes. When it's ready to be sent off, I will use the top flap to seal the envelope, probably with more clear masking tape. Anyway, just thought I'd share. I think it's a neat way to recycle something you'd ordinarily throw out and whoever receives it might get a kick out of getting a cheese sticks or pop tart envelope. :)
