- Heey everyone! Today’s video is another DIY video. I’ve chosen to do a voice over today, because I thought that it would be easier to follow what I am doing. This one is also for a request and I had so much fun making them. I will be using these envelopes in my snail mail and junk journals. I will link the videos down below I mention in the video. I hope you enjoy the tutorial.
Love, Kyra

Pencil, ruler, scissors and glue. Everyone has these things. Love that! Thanks for a wonderful video.
Thank you!! 😊
Solid proof that we don't need fancy machinery or punches in order to make pretty things to use! TFS
Yes we don't need all of that to make some nice things :D I am so happy you liked the video
I have recently discovered your channel and I like what i see. That is why I became a new sub. :-D
Thank you so much! And welcome to my channel 😄
I’ve just found your channel and I’m addicted 😘😘😘
I totally love the way you really make EVERYTHING yourself - craft tools replaced by refreshing and genuine passion, drive and real true talent.
I love watching you work in pure rawness and not pimped up with expensive items - it really does make things more meaningful.
You’re very “real” and you are the only channel I’ve found as yet, that works this way.
I love it - it gives people with little or limited funds hope - hope that they can create beautiful items just as good, if not better than those who use every tool available.
I don’t have a channel, I’m a viewer and I wish I’d found you earlier as when I returned to crafting recently due to ill health and being off work, I spent a small fortune believing I must have all the items to be able to make something beautiful - you have shown that really is not the case.
You should be so proud of yourself - I really hope you are.
You make beautiful things and teach in such a beautiful way
Good luck with your CZcams future xxxxxxxx 😘😘😘😘😘
Oh thank you so much!!! You make me blush!!
I do have some of the tools right now, but you can always request something and I will try to make a video about that. When I started out, I didn't want to buy the tools. I wanted to get the paints and pretty papers. So I totally understand you. And yes you can make beautiful things with limited funds. I only buy tools when I notice I make something a lot and it would make it easier. It is not a necessary thing :).
Crafting also helped me through rough times with my mental health. It keeps me sain, so I totally understand.
Don't get discouraged when you see all the pretty tools, you can def do it without. Please tell me your requests and I will try to make a video for you. This is the reason I started my channel :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! They really mean a lot to me!
I wish you a lot of fun on your craft journey
I love that you make your things with stuff everyone has...I get tired of watching tutorials that make it seem like I need to spend tons of money to make a simple thing. Can't wait to try this...thanks for posting!
Thank you so much!!! I know right!! I had the same feeling! You don't need all the fancy stuff to make the things. This way it just takes a bit more time, but you can do it! I have to say I bought a punch board now. But that is because i am working on a big secret project and i need the less time part🙈
Thank you! You are so humble and sweet! And it just goes to show that one doesn't need all the "fancy wancy" tools and up to date gadgets to create. Before I had a bone folder I use a butter knife. Lol. Thank you for the video. It was nice to hear your voice. The lighting was good for me. I'm not picky! Loved all your papers. Thanks again for the tutorial of the cute envelopes!!!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment!!! i always get distracted by the beautiful papers paint embellishments. so i dont buy the tools lol. but it is good to hear you are back to a butter knife lol. i dont miss a thing. i would like a paper trimmer to cut straight. but i think it will take a loooooong time before i buy one lol. im happy you enjoyed the video!!! Thank you for your feedback!! ❤
Thank you for sharing with us! I think they turned out fantastic!
Thank you so much!!!!

I just found your channel very recently and subscribed. I think it was from a search I did on diy embellishments. I’m so grateful your channel showed up in my recommendations because I love it when I come across a channel that is as down to earth as yours. Thanks for sharing your videos. Most of all thank you for making them in English. :) I’m going now to check to see if you uploaded one showing off your crafting space (this video is over a year old now). Hopefully I’ll find that you did upload one. If not I hope this shows enough interest from your subscribers to encourage you to make one. 😊
Thank you so much for subscribing! Welcome to my channel!! :D I am so happy to have you here!! I hope you will like my other videos too :D I made 2 art space tour videos :) They are in a playlist on my channel :) One is from when I was still sitting at my kitchen table and the other one is an actual room I got from my husband :) I need to do an updated version, cause I changed a lot since then lol. We never stop organizing our stuff xD Thank you so much for your compliments. It means a lot to me
Thank you for this tutorial... you didn't use terms that crafters like to use so I was able to follow along... now to get crafting...
Thank you so much for watching. I am so happy to hear that you were able to follow along! :D Have fun crafting!!!
I just found you and really like the envelopes and embellishments you make.I will look for your embellishment video.Thank you.Carol Young

I very much prefer voice-overs on videos--I'm glad you chose to do so on this one! Very nice envelopes---I like the tip for the diagonal line.
And I subscribed!!
Thank you!! i am so happy you liked the video and thank you for subscribing!!! welcome to my channel!!
Hey Kyra, you have a really nice voice! Great video, very usefull since i do not have any gadget to make envelopes. Thanks! I would enjoy a craftspace tour from you. The light is a liiiittle bit dark, but it could be worse. And to finish, it's nice to see you use your handmade embellishements. So that was it i think. Groetjes van België. Marie
Heey Marie!! Thank you!! yeah i will be working on my set up. for me it was a second sun. i will try a different set up next time 😁 i will make a video like that happen. dont know when yet. but it will come. groetjes uit Nederland!!! liefs!
really enjoyed this just as you did it.!!! already made one. =)
Thank you so much!! i am so happy you liked it and that you made one yourself!!😁 happy crafting 🎉
Like the voice over. Lights can be brighter, a little dark. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thank you for the feedback!!! 😁
Hey Kyra!
Envelopes turned out Pretty...luved all of them...Good to hear ur voice..Today's video was a little darker but that's OK. ..Always luv to see u create...
Love
Kulsoom
Thank you Kulsoom! yes i have to work on my set up. but with winter coming im really happy with these Lights. for me it was a second sun in my room hahahaha.
Love Kyra
Love that no special tools are needed.
yeeeeeeyyy🎉🎉🎉🎉
bealtiful! 😱💌💌💌👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹😇😘💞
Thank you!!😘😘😘😘
Thanks for this videos, I don't have any on those tools either.
Thank you!! I am so happy this video can help you out!
Cute!!
Thank you so much!!
GREAT VIDEO,THANK YOU
Thank you so much!! :D I am so happy to hear that! :D
I loved this tutorial and also your organizational skills👌🏼I also like the fact that you use few tools for measuring and cutting. Not everyone can afford to get punches, paper cutters, etc....I do like your voice over and the lighting is fine. Do you have any tutorials about organization in the craft room? I get the impression that you are a very neat person.👍🏼 I am subscribing ❤️👏🏼
Thank you so much!! :D I couldn't afford that when I made this video :D And I thought I would share what I do to get around that. I don't have tutorials on organization, but I do have art room tours where I explain some things. I should really make a new one. I have changed a lot :D Thank you so much for subscribing and welcome to my channel
hi Kyra, you asked for feedback on your set up, the lighting is a bit on the dark side, however love the way you are clear with your instructions and easy to follow measurements. thanks JEN UK
Hi jen! thank you so much for your feedback and I am happy you liked the video for the other part :). since i have changed some settings. and I believe it is better now. love, Kyra
very nice tfs,🌺🌷
Thank you!!
Love the voice over! The lights are not bright enough but i love your video! 😉
Thank you!! And thank you for the feedback 😁
I like that you don't use lots of specialty tools----
Just what's round the house----
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! :D I made this video in a time that I didn't have the money to buy the fancy tools :) You can make everything you want with simple things you can find :) It is fun to get creative like that! :D
I agree-----
Thanks for answering!
Thank's for sharing this!!! I have one of those punch boards but every time I have tried to use it my envelopes never seem to come out the right way!!! I am not very good at getting the paper the correct size I think is my problem!!! Sometimes It is just a little easier to make a template like this and make my own than trying to use the punch and it come out all wonky on me!!! I really have trouble with trying to make a larger one to fit a card with this board :(
i am happy I can help you with this video. i dont know how the punch board works since i dont own any. but it sounds like a lot of patience and trial and Error. it sucks if you dont get it to work properly. i hope you can make templates that will fit.
I like the voice over but not the music. I'm learning the metric system through your videos!
I am happy to hear that you like the voice over. You don't like music playing on the background with a voice-over? Oeeeehh nice!! I am so happy my videos can help you with that :D
Thank you so much for this video, finaly a easy tutorial for making envelops. The voice over was really great.
And I also have a little question for you, could you do a video maybe on how you make little envelops and little envelops who you can put on a paperclip? I really love your videos and i was having a little creative dip and you always inspire me to keep on creating and keep on trying. So thank you so much for that xxx
Heey irene!! i'm so happy my videos help you!! yes of course I can do that. this time in centimeters 😁 i thought About your question a loooooong time ago About the mini envelopes after i had uploaded this video. it will be my pleasure to make one for you! i understand the creative dip. i have the same a little bit. that is why i turn more to paper crafting and little projects. but youtube keeps me motivated to keep on creating!! maybe we can do a swap again some time?? if you want?? 😁 liefs!!!😘😘
Thank you so much for wanting making a video about making mini envelops :) :) And ofcourse I want to do a swap with you again. looking forward to that also :) liefs xxx
Irene de Jonge i send you a pm on fb 😁😁
Thank you, looks like a lot of fun. I have a question for you, what papers do you use for envelopes, do you use the card stop papers that come in the books or something else???
hello!! Thank you!! yes i do use that or any other Patterned paper. for my envelopes i used my scraps. i think you can use what ever paper you like 😁
Kyra I'm with u, I don't have any special tools yet either
There is so much you can do with things around the house. Nowadays, I do have some of the tools. But I will not get all of them. It is just not necessary :) But that is just my opinion :)
@@KyraPace I agree...but I would like to get a cutter atleadt...i can never cut straight 😂😂😂
Yes that was one of the first tools I bought. It is truly a lifesaver! I am so happy I invested in such a tool :D
@@KyraPace 😂😂😂😂I definitely have to get it so I don't waste my paper by making mistakes😂😂
@@engraftedwordministriesari2769 oh yes I remember all the paper I wasted. It is so sad😭 such beautiful papers😭🤣
What size card does your envelope hold?
I think these hold a bussines card size or 3x4 inch :) But you can make them any size you want :) Just make a template in the card size you want :)
you are so creative and yo make everything so cost efficient. great...
would you pls help me with the dimensions for an envelope for 13cm by 13cm
Thank you so much!! i have to go in the craftroom for that one😁 but if you want to put a card in it that is 13x13 the template should be at least 13,5 x 13,5. the other dimensions will follow soon when i made one for you😁 i hope that is okay?
Yes yes! Thanks for the help...looking forward for more of your creations...you are so cool👍.
Oh thank you so much!!!❤
Kyra Pace ..hey i got it...now i can make envelope of any size i wan....thanks! #mathsissoimportantincrafting
Yes??? woehoeeee!!!!🎉🎉 i am so happy I could help you with that!!! and indeed math is so important lol!!! happy crafting!!!!🖌❤
On your ruler, inches are on the opposite side of your ruler, 1 inch, 2 inch... 1 1/2 (One and a half inch), 2 1/2 (Two and a half). Inch symbol is “ 1”, 2”, 3”, And so on. 1x1 inch each side, 2x2 inches...and so on. Or 3 1/4” (Three and 1/4th of an inch), and so on. 3/4ths, 6x6 inches each side is 6 inches...on your ruler, opposite of your metric side, look at the numbers, 1,2,3,4, 5, 6,..... then look what it says on the metric side..And of course you can Google up how inches are compared to the metric side of your ruler. And of course, I or anyone else can figure it out or look up the Metric system on Google! 😁😊
You are so right!! When I filmed this video it all confused me still a little bit lol!! But I am learning :D
2½ cm per inch... 10cm x 10cm is therefore a 4" square. 😁
Thank you so much for doing the math for me! It is not my strong suit lol!!!
@@KyraPace doesn't matter! We're all good at different things. I did it for you or for anyone else who may not know as it's an easy thing to remember...every inch is 2.5cms... that's about as far as my maths skills takes me! 😂😂😂 What you are good at is making the best of what you have and using your brain to figure out ways you can make things despite not having fancy tools! Problem solving is what maths really is about, and you're not too lazy to find alternative options. Many people won't even attempt things without having every piece of equipment. I do have a lot of crafting tools, but if a bone folder is not close by when I need one I'll use scissor handles or the TV remote or whatever else is nearby. You come to realise a lot of the tools are not as invaluable as you think they are before you buy them. I've sold-on many craft items that I bought, that turned out to be not really so great. My preferred tools worth investing in imo are, a good craft knife, strong metal ruler, a cutting mat, a paper trimmer and a score board with bone folder. They are all you really need if ever you want to invest, but only invest at all if it's something you'll use a lot! If you only craft now and then, your way is perfectly fine! The main craft item I buy is good quality paper and cardstock and good glue. Scrapbooking paper is relatively cheap and lasts ages, and can be picked up in cheap stores such as Poundland or The Works (in the UK). The Works also sells an excellent pink snap-off blade craft knife for 99p and it's the best knife I've ever used for paper crafting! It's razor sharp and never snags the paper or goes blunt quickly. My absolute favourite glue is the clear Collall glue, it's more expensive but you can use it for everything and you never need double sided tape ever again! A tiny dab holds heavy gems or embellishments in place and it never leaves wet wrinkles in paper unlike PVA tends to. I could rave about Collall glue all day long! I'm so glad I found it and it's all I buy now. I get printer paper from Wilko's, presentation paper 120-160gsm weight, which is £4 for 250 sheets. You can print off pictures to cut out and they look like you've bought proper craft images or sheets. After years of crafting and lots of £££'s spent on products, I now get this paper and glue and it's really all I have to spend now. Embellishment packs last forever and can be picked up for £1 pretty much anywhere. Another good way to stock up cheaply on embellishments is to buy direct from China on eBay. Yes you wait longer for items to arrive but I've got TONS of ridiculous bargains buying them that way! For example a full string of faceted glass 10mm beads for 17p and that included p&p! (Approx 25c in American money) 100x metres of chiffon ribbon for 99p including p&p, which would be about 99p for a metre or two here! Hope these ideas help guide you or others like you who want to buy crafting tools but are not sure how necessary they are or if they're worth investing in. As you've proved, all you really need is a pencil, a ruler and scissors and your imagination. 😊😊😊
You are totally right!! I have bought some tools since this video, but I always keep in mind if it is something I will use often and do I really need it. I bought 2 sizes of circles punches, simply because cutting circles is a pain lol. And I love to use circles in my projects. The paper trimmer was a life saver!! I can cut straight and in the right size so fast now. I use it with all my projects. It is so true what you say. You don't need all the things to craft and have fun. I often find a creative way to make something without spending money. Here in the Netherlands we have Action :D Really fun and great craft supplies for not that many euro's :D I also looooove to get my washi's from Aliexpress. Yes it takes a while to get here, but it is so worth it! I do invest in good quality paints and glue. I am an art journaler by heart, but I also use these supplies for my art school. So this is a win-win situation for me. I love to use cheap knock off stanley knifes for cutting. Also bought at Action :D And I have a cutting mat also from there. They work great! It doesn't always mean that when something is expensive that it is automatically better. I also love the collal glue. I use it for my school projects :) Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I had fun reading your amazing comment!!
@@KyraPace aww you are welcome! I keep hearing about alliexpress but haven't checked it out yet! I also recently bought a 1" and a 2" circle punches! I use mine for cutting half circle notches too in pockets for tags in books etc. Another thing I use a lot of is rubbish! Packaging that would be thrown out or fabrics that can be cut up and used other ways. I make things for the home so much more cheaply or even free rather than buying them. I have crafted since i was a child sticking toilet roll tubes and egg boxes together in preschool! I mainly love paper and fabric but I'll give anything a go! From furniture upcycling to party decor to jewellery or books or clothes or bags or home things such as curtains, cushions, bedding etc. I always have a few projects on the go! 😊😊😊
Oh! And the best resource of all... CZcams!!! I constantly watch videos for tips and tricks and ideas! I have learnt so much! 🎓🎓🎓
origami envelopes are way easier or just a template from any envelopes. much easier
i wanted to try it this way 😁 and I like it.
Kyra Pace good for you. I was just expressing my opinion, not criticising your envelopes
Oh dont worry!! I was just responding About my thought process 😁😘
Kyra Pace 😘 i think you are clever with art and craft and patient not like me
Thank you!! Something special happens inside me when i create. I step into my own little world and everything is good. 😁 but you are also sooooooo creative. Im still in love with your flipbook!!!
Playing music while doing the voice over makes it hard to hear and understand what is being said.
Thank you for your feedback! It is very important to me to know what I can do better :)
I think the music is OK...
But seemed to be just a bit loud, while trying to hear your voice....
Over all a nice tutorial!! ;-)
Thx 4 sharing!
Maryanne Mounts thank you so much for your feedback. This was one of the first times that I did a voice over😊 i was still playing with it to see how it would work. Thank you so much!
Are you German? You have that slang

Wow! Nice country🙌🙌
