I enjoy making them, like quilting. As far as selling, I keep trying, but no luck so far.

easy, fun project - also can be embellished with buttons, etc. on outside when given as gift card holder.
Thanks, I never thought of using fabric. Will have to try it.

I thought you had used fabric...
Steps I followed: unglue regular envelope - trace env. on 'heat & bond' - apply this 'heat & bond' to fabric - iron fabric to original envelope - crease on original folds - refold & reglue with glue stick - glue velcro to flap & there you have it!
clear as mud?!
