These playful mail art envelope designs are back up on the TPK website after over three years of being MIA. However, this post is unique in that the idea came from my own past work! I made a set of three fairytale-themed printable mail art envelope templates in early 2014, and someone had “pinned” a photo of them. I get many of my tutorial ideas from Pinterest, and this tutorial was no exception.

If you like it, too, I’d like to give it to you! You can find both the black and white plus the turquoise and brown versions of the printable mail art envelope by clicking here. I enjoyed creating the design for this tutorial, and I love the way it turned out. Your finished, folded envelope templates will end up being 6-1/4″ x 4-3/8″ (15.9 cm x 11.1 cm). Write your recipient’s address on your envelope, add a stamp, and you’re ready to send it! If you’re confused by the written assembly instructions above, see the last (fifth) photo here. Fold all of the flaps behind the main rectangle/front, then glue the side flaps to the back flap. Cut, Fold, and SendĬut out your printable mail art envelope along the gray guidelines. The paper on the right depicts a modified version of the design I used Photoshop to quickly add some color to it! 6. The paper on the left depicts an unedited copy of my scanned design. If you aren’t very tech-savvy, that’s fine! You can skip playing with the design and just make copies of what you created by printing off the scanned file.

If you know how to digitize artwork, you can play with your design in Photoshop (or your preferred program) to modify it. Otherwise, copies of the scan may look a little blurry when you print them out. Try not to scan in the design at a lower resolution than 300 dpi. If your scanner presents you with a choice, I’d scan the finished template in at a resolution of 350 dpi. Use your scanner to scan the finished design into your computer. I like drawing with a dip pen and ink but any pen, paint, or marker will work! If you have the time, you can draw a pencil draft of your design and trace over it. Remember: you can use this template over and over once you create it, so it’s okay if you dedicate extra time and care to making the design! Feel free to use the writing instrument of your choice. Make sure that your pencil guidelines are faint! Otherwise, you may have trouble erasing them. As you draw your mail art design in subsequent steps, you can keep the front of the envelope in mind. For that reason, you may want to use a ruler and a pencil to draw guidelines that separate the front of the envelope from the flaps. It’s helpful to know exactly which part of the envelope will appear front and center. I usually create my printable mail art envelope designs on 32# laserjet paper. It doesn’t really matter which paper you print the template out on as long as that paper will play nice with your drawing instrument.

You’ll just need a printer, a scanner, and your drawing instrument of choice. I’ve never quite gotten over the thrill of scanning artwork to duplicate it, which may explain all of the printables on the TPK website! Printable mail art is one of my very favorite things to create … I come up with envelope designs all the time that I want to keep and re-use! In this tutorial, I’ll teach you how to make your own printable mail art envelopes, too. You could draw something, and all of a sudden, there it was on your computer screen! And then, you could take it a step further and make copies of what you’d drawn. My family first got a scanner around the year 1998, and I remember being fascinated with the concept.
