Give mailing envelopes a little character (a silly snowman, for example) and call it a wrap for a gift book, puzzle, video or box of stationery.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Large mailing envelope (11 by 17 inches works well)
Construction paper Sponge Blue tempera paint Colored markers Felt scrap | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: markers, paints, paper | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Cut a basic snowman shape from construction paper, and use a few pieces of rolled masking tape to temporarily stick it to the face of the envelope. |
| 2. | Dip a soft sponge into blue tempera paint, and then dab color onto the envelope all around the snowman. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly. |
| 3. | Carefully remove the construction-paper cutout, and then use colored markers to draw a face, arms, a hat and buttons. For an authentic touch, glue on a miniature felt scarf. |
