File Folder Letters

Here's how you can make your own!

Has the change in weather, frosty mornings, scarves and sweaters put you into a letter writing mood?  I have enjoyed reaching for my autumn themed letter supplies and thought I would share this most recent project.

Last month in September, I was admiring all of the gorgeous yellow flowers.  I 'm sorry to report that I have not identified this specimen in my wild flower book  yet. They were EVERYWHERE in central Virginia. I thought they would be good to press for some mail art.  I had to pass by the beautiful cone flowers that were plentiful as well because the centers were a bit too bulky to press.

Here is my "official" flower press machine.  Perfect use for the Janson and Janson that just lays on the shelf.

I was afraid that it might be too early for these flowers, but I was pleasantly surprised when  I opened Janson and Janson.  They were perfectly pressed.

  

This picture is just a bit of a close up.  I love the flower.  So simple, but so beautiful.

I have had this cheap label maker for ages and never used it.  But for this project, it was worth getting out.  I think the black labels on the craft file folder look great.

Here is the front of the file folder project.

Autumn.  I love you!

I hope you will give the file folder snail mail project a try.  The possibilities are endless, just use your imagination.  It's a fun way to send a letter to someone and share some memorabilia along with it.  Share  your love of autumn with someone too.

The Craftier the better,

Happy Snail Mailing,

Pam
