Making Your DIY Envelope Liners

A great way to personalize your wedding invitations, party invites, and thank you cards is to add a colorful envelope liner.

PAPER for LINER: The best paper for a liner is lightweight or letter. Card stock or a heavier paper is difficult to fold smoothly and adds bulk to your envelope. Use any paper that inspires. Your craft or paper store has many options to choose from. One of my favorites is frosted paper. You can even use recycled magazine pages, sheet music or wrapping paper. Here are blank liner templates for A7 and A2 square flap envelopes to use as a guide for cutting your paper. We have also created these liner designs in gorgeous colors that coordinate with our newest wedding sets. These are ready to download and print either at home or on a laser printer that you can find at an office store.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED:

• Our printed liners or paper for liners + templates
• Envelopes
• Xacto Knife + Blades
• Metal Ruler
• Cutting Mat
• Double Sided Tape

ASSEMBLING: Once your liners are printed and trimmed, open your envelopes flap and apply a strip of double-sided tape just under the sealer on the top edge of the flap. Carefully slide the liner inside the envelope to rest at the bottom. With the envelope flat on the table, slide your fingers up to adhere the liner to the tape on the envelope flap. Fold the flap down and press to crease liner. And there you are!
