Instructions:

 

This is a little tricky, but when you get it right, it’s amazing!

1. Cut your sheet of Floral Lace Paper in Kraft in half. Open up your envelope and place it on to pf the paper so that the point of the envelope matches the top of the paper. Take a pencil and draw around the outline of your envelope.
2. Take a scissors and cut around the outline you have just drawn. The tricky part is that you need to cut about 0.5cm in from the line you have drawn. This will ensure that your liner is smaller than your envelope and will fit neatly inside.
3. When you have finished cutting and you have a piece of floral lace paper that is slightly smaller than the top part of your envelope, slot the paper inside the envelope with the pattern facing you. Once you have the paper in the right position, use your tape runner to stick it in to place.
