This review is from: The Envelope Mill: Recycle Magazines into Beautifully Crafted Envelopes/Book and Templates (Spiral-bound)

I have had The Envelope Mill for several years, and when I pulled it out AGAIN and made envelopes from last year's wall calendar of antique map reproductions, I thought it high time I sang the praises of this marvelous 30-glossy-pages book. It's a great jump-start to creativity -- lots of appealing photos -- and I love the sturdy plastic templates for 3 different sized envelopes for cards and letters. They're clear, so you can move the template around on your paper until you get a pleasing design, then trace around it, cut, fold, glue the flaps, and voila! The author tells how to incorporate photos, make lined envelopes, and even invites you to adjust the template to make custom-sized envelopes. This is a quick-gratification craft for adults, as well as for kids who are old enough to use scissors, and it encourages all of us to send more letters and cards.

If you love to create your greeting cards, you will love this book. It shows you how to create your own envelopes to go with your cards. The book gives the printed information on this as well as three templates which will make envelopes for practically every need. Never throw away old gift wrap again - make an envelope.

The whole book is valuable. The templates are very useable. I made a few from calendars, etc., but then moved on to printing pages on the computer with our scanned photos. Using the templates, I was able to create very special envelopes customized to the recipient. Very rewarding. Thanks to Haila Harvey for sharing her wonderful ideas with us. And thanks to the TV craft show that introduced me to the book.
