Create a small surprise inside a letter using a removable paper liner that does not obstruct the envelope closure. Gather an envelope, thin decorative paper, a pencil, scissors, and a glue stick.
Set it up
Trace the envelope body and flap onto the decorative paper, then trim the shape slightly smaller along every edge.
Put the idea to work
Slide the liner into the envelope and fold it with the flap so both layers bend along the same crease.
Finish and keep it useful
Use a small amount of glue beneath the liner flap only, keeping the envelope adhesive and address area unobstructed. Avoid thick paper that makes the envelope too bulky to close cleanly around the letter.
