How to Make a Mailing Envelope Package

I folded the 2 pieces together leaving a small area on the top for a flap and then added Washi tape for detail. Using my heavy duty sewing machine, I sewed down both sides of the envelope keeping the tension on the machine quite loose.
And as a side note, if you're in the market for a sewing machine, this machine is heavy duty and simple to use. No bells and whistles, just pure sewing! You can find it by visiting the bold link above.

My Etsy items were safely on their way.
The packaging was original, free, and secure!
Not only that but I've gotten quite a few comments on
