Security Envelope Mail Art VI

Easy as can be...

Step 1: Grab a security envelope, and carefully loosen the gummed sides.

Not sure what a security envelope is? A security envelope has a pattern printed on the inside, which makes it difficult to see the contents. They are used for bills, bank statements, etc.

Step 2: Glue the envelope back together with the security design on the outside.

Step 3: Decorate the envelope with rubber stamped images, collage, or paint, or set it on fire (just kidding). Basically, whatever takes your fancy. (You can also be a rebel and decorate the envelope before you glue it back together...)

Step 4: Include some interesting ephemera for your partner. (I would say at least10 pieces.)

Full Definition of EPHEMERA 1: something of no lasting significance —usually used in plural 2: ephemera plural : paper items (as posters, broadsides, and tickets) that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles.

Step 5: Slap some pretty postage on it and you’re done!
