Have you ever sent an Accordian Letter? Sometimes they are called "Folio" letters too. Either is fine. This was my first attempt, and I had quite a good time with the project.
I went with the nostalgic, retro look.
This is two pieces of Kraft card stock that are scored and then joined together with washi tape . I filled my pages up with envelopes/pockets, I have seen this project also called the "pocket mailer".
The possibilites are endless...
Do you need to share any secrets?
Journal cards, banners, confetti...status cards, tea...hmmm...again...the possibilites are endless!
But certainly, don't forget the letter! I folded my letter and put it in the blue pocket bag. This was such fun, I know I will be making more of these to share, How about you? Email me pictures of your "Accordian Mail" and I will share it on the blog.
Happy Snail Mailing!

ReplyDeleteI have Alexandra Stoddard's Gift of a Letterand I love it. It's says everything you need to know or want to ask about letter writing. I need to try your idea and soon. It looks like a real great letter gift to some one special.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is one of my favorite letter writing books. She writes so prosaically...It is a very relaxing re-read!
DeleteAwsome! I should try it soon :)
ReplyDeleteWhat are your paper measurements?
ReplyDeleteI used 12" X !2 inch paper. That is the length of the paper. The short side is probably the length of a regular envelope. I will try to get the actual measurements for you soon.
DeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteDo you mail this as-is? Or put in an envelope to mail?
ReplyDeleteHow much did your accordion mailer weigh? Have you ever mailed one internationally?
