How to make a Bi-Fold Pocket Letter. I think these little Pocket Letters are nice for writing a new penpal. In these , there is plenty of room to include items about yourself in a creative, and fun way. I used a 12 X 12 inch piece of kraft paper and cut it to an A 5 size. This allows some scraps to make labels as you see "goodies" and "letters". I made the little "Hello" banner just using my circle punch and letter stamps and sandwitched them between a piece of twine. I made the large envelope on the left with a piece of scrap of paper, and the brown polkadot envelope was purchased. I think the rest is self-explanatory. Use whatever embellishments you have that are handy. I have a few more of these that I will be posting soon. Leave me a comment if you have made any of these, or other suggestions as to make first time letters to pen pals special. Happy Crafty Snail Mailing!
