How to make the envelopes
- Print the three pages at 100% scale – then the sizes are right. The big envelope is for a card or a letter, the middle one for a voucher, a gift card or money, the small ones for name slips.
- Cut along the solid line. Scissors are enough – children can do it.
- Fold all the dashed lines backwards, onto the blank side, so the drawing stays on the outside.
- Fold in the side flaps, put glue stick on the grey fields, fold the bottom flap onto them and press it down.
- Put in the card, the letter, the voucher or the name slip.
- Close the top flap with a sticker, a piece of tape or a dab of glue.
Tips
Ordinary paper of 80–120 g/m² works well; fold thicker paper along a ruler, after running the blunt side of a knife or a dry ballpoint pen along the fold line. Color the drawings before you fold. For the draw: write the names on the slips from the name slips page, put each one in a mini envelope, close it, mix them in a hat or a bowl and let everyone pick one.
