Autumn is totally here and I couldn’t be happier! We had some uncharacteristically super hot and dry weather this summer, here in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. Now, just today, we’ve had rain, hail, wind, thunder and sun! And it’s still so fresh and colorful!  Very much like these simple, yet striking and super easy to make DIY envelope inserts.

These are so incredibly simple to make. I’ve provided the steps below!

How To Make DIY Envelope Inserts

Step 1: Choose pre-made envelope(s) or some that you have made yourself. If you need some easy DIY envelope ideas, check out my previous guest post.

Step 2: Place your envelope on top of the paper you’ve chosen as your insert and outline with a pencil. Cut inside the line 1/8″ all the way around except for the bottom.

Step 3: If you are making more than one insert, lay the “template” insert on a stack of paper of five to six deep. Use a paper cutter if you wish and a corner rounder if needed. I used plain old scissors.

Step 4: Slip the insert into your envelope and center it.

Step 5: While holding it firmly in place, fold the flap over and crease well.

Step 6: Remove your insert and use a glue stick on the bottom half around the edges.

Step 7: Hold and slightly squeeze the sides of your envelope to make a pocket of it.

Step 8: Now gently slip the insert into your envelope and glue the top half in the same manner.

Step 9: Finish up by folding your envelope flap back down, smoothing all over to insure no wrinkles. *

And you are done! ❤

* You may or may not have noticed that my inserts have not been glued in place. What?! I forgot to do so before I set up my photo shoot and just noticed while editing. Can you believe it? 😊

Thank you so much Danielle, for inviting me again to share a guest post with your readers. ❤
