How to make a gift envelope for money with decorative embroidery in scrapbooking technique? Lesson with a step-by-step explanation of the work process and photos

Nowadays it is quite common to receive gifts forbanknotes are given as gifts for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or christenings. And if previously the only possible packaging for such a present was a regular postal envelope, today it has been replaced by very beautiful themed gift envelopes-postcards. They can be easily found in any suitable store or made by yourself. This master class will tell you how to create one of these, decorated with decorative cross-stitch embroidery.

Necessary tools and materials

So, to make a gift envelope for money with your own hands, we will need:

• a sheet of scrap-paper of salad color;
• pre-embroidered motif;
• awl;
• line;
• A simple pencil;
• stationery knife;
• strings of purple moulin;
• sewing needle with a wide eyelet;
• scissors;
• thin green satin ribbon;
• Super glue.

Description of work

1.From the top edge of a vertically placed sheet of A4 scrapbooking paper, measure 8 cm downwards (the approximate width of a banknote) and draw a barely noticeable horizontal line with a simple pencil, along which we then fold the sheet and carefully smooth out the fold line. Then measure another 8 cm downwards from the resulting fold line and again draw a barely noticeable horizontal line under the ruler. Now measure another 3-3.5 cm downwards from the marked line and also draw a straight horizontal line. Next, using a ruler, draw along the last marked line with a sharp stationery knife, thereby cutting off the excess paper. Finally, along the remaining line previously marked with a pencil, fold the lower part of the workpiece upwards and get this detail of the future gift envelope.2. Then, stepping back 0.5 centimeters from the edge of the folded up lower part of the envelope, using a pencil, make vertical marks at an equal distance from each other on both sides.3.After this, using an awl or a "gypsy needle", we make through holes along the previously made marks, thus piercing two layers of scrapbook paper. Later we will lay a seam here, thus forming the so-called pocket for banknotes.4. Now take a needle, thread it with several strands of purple floss and sew a stitch through the holes made, first in one direction.5. And then in the opposite direction. We carefully secure the thread from the inside and cut off the excess.6. We make exactly the same seam on the other side of the envelope pocket.7.Next, in accordance with the dimensions of the previously prepared decorative embroidery, using a ruler and a simple pencil, we first make the appropriate markings on the cover of the envelope, along which we then carefully cut a “window” in the paper.8. Stepping back from the slit approximately 0.5 cm, using an awl, we make through holes along the perimeter of the “window”, along which we will later lay the seam.9.After this, we place the embroidered motif on the back side of the envelope cover, with the design facing up, and sew it to the paper using the same principle as we used to sew the edges of the envelope pocket. We also use purple floss threads. To make the envelope-postcard look more elegant, you can make several decorative stitches in the corners of the "window".10. This is how we managed to sew on decorative embroidery.11. From the remaining floss, form a small decorative bow and glue it with a drop of superglue to the seam in the lower left corner of the “window”.12.Measure out two pieces of thin green satin ribbon, 12 cm long each - these will be the ties for our envelope. Then make a small cut, 5 ml long, in the center of the front lower part, and exactly the same in the center of the pocket, insert into each edge of the ribbon piece and fix it with a drop of glue from the back side. It is important that there is a minimal amount of glue. Otherwise, it will soak the scrapbooking paper, deform it and thus spoil the appearance of the entire envelope-card.This is the beautiful gift envelope with decorative embroidery that we got.
