Security envelopes were recycled by slitting the edges and turning them inside out. A portion that included the window was cut. In this particular book 6 envelopes were used. They were fastened together using star shaped brads. The back of the brad was disguised using small stickers.
Finally, the booklet was inserted into a envelope made from a page torn from an old thrifted book. And in this way, a fun piece of mailart was created!
What a neat idea. FUN.

I guess I could be discribed as someone who likes crafts! It is really cute. I am going to google mailart and see what pops up! I can always use a few new ideas! I am glad you liked the yellow tablecloth on my cart. It reminds me a bit of Anthropologie and I know you love Anthropologie! I remember you posting about how you would go window shopping at Anthropologie during lunch. We finally got a Anthropologie and I love to window shop there as well. They should serve lunch there!

Brilliant! I've never been too crafty though I used to do decoupage and needlework. I spent most of my time writing poetry!
