Gather your supplies. Head to your local craft store and buy some craft paper, Christmas-themed tiny decorations, glue, scissors and blank envelopes. Make sure the glue you buy is nonacetate. This will prevent the colors on your craft envelopes from fading or distorting. - 2
Plan out your design. On a sheet of paper draw several mock-ups of the design you want for your Christmas envelopes. This will help you to create a great looking set of envelopes with a minimum amount of mistakes. Place the final design somewhere visible and you can begin. You can use Christmas ornaments as a great reference for pieces to add to your envelope design. - 3
Begin applying your design to the envelopes. Your design might call for shapes to be cut out of craft paper and applied with glue. If so, precut the craft paper in one step so that you can glue all of your envelopes at one time. If you are using glue, paint or makers, allow adequate time for the envelopes to dry before placing them on top of each other as this may cause them to stick together. - 4
Create the final refined details on your Christmas craft envelopes with colored pencils. You may draw over and on top of any craft paper you have glued to the envelope to give it an extra kick. Allow the envelopes to fully dry, and you have your own personalized set of Christmas-themed craft envelopes. You can use these to send special holiday greetings to your friends and family. They'll appreciate your extra effort.
