    It wasn’t just the paper that was expensive, but postage was expensive as well and an envelope, being seen as a second sheet of paper, often doubled the postage cost.

    That looks much more meaningful than putting the letter in an actual envelope!

  • @vickinoeske1711

    I've always loved the folding of a letter so an envelope is not needed. Wax sealing was popular when I was a girl (late 1960's) & I started a fire in my bedroom trash can with a match!😂🤣

    I used this technique today for my pen pal and I loved it, thank you! The 3rd option looks so cute!

  • @Epicsinc
    @Epicsinc Před 5 lety +157

    Almost perfect. For the first letter, you can easily skip the first fold where you fold the paper in half. By not folding the paper in half and just eyeballing the middle, the letter still works perfectly without having a crease down the center where I would write the address. It looks neater too.

    This is exactly the video I was hoping to find. For my loved one, I found a lovely wooden box I was hoping to fill with handwritten letters, and I found out that the box is a centimeter too small to fit any of the envelopes that came with this nice paper I got some time ago. This video is going to be a wonderful solution for this!

    Oh my goodness. I too am a HUGE Jane Austen fan. Love all things Jane including these envelopes. I love sealing with a wax seal and I even have one seal that says Merry Christmas. A nice little vintage find at an antique market several years ago. Can't wait to use the envelope technique this holiday season. Thanks again for another wonderful tutorial!!

    Thank you so much for this tutorial, Tinne! I have tried them all, not sure which is my favourite. I've just finished a vintage journal and added a few of these, they are so much more fun than the regular way of folding. I don't have wax or a seal, but that's okay because this way they can still be used to write in. I have included a link to this video in the description box of my video and gave you credit. Thanks again, Debbie :)

      @lynarith8829 Před 5 lety +3

      Hegedus Ivan Perhaps you can heat up (hair dryer) the wax seal so it’ll loosen up and you can open the letter without tearing the paper.

      If I had to wager a guess, I think she's using A4 paper which is used in Britain and Europe. It's meteric and you can probably order it from Amazon.
