    Cute DIY Polka Dot Envelopes

    Updated: Feb 9, 2019 by Melissa Mortenson · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 5 Comments

    Today we are sharing some super simple Polka Dot Envelopes. These are quick, fun and slightly addicting to make. Once you start polka dotting you’re not going to want to stop.

    Polka Dot Envelopes by eighteen25

    Hello everyone… the girls from eighteen25 here today and we are so excited to be back for Project Polka Dot. This is such a fun series… there have already been some great ideas shared and we can’t wait to see what’s still to come!!

    DIY Polka Dot Envelope Craft Project:

    SUPPLIES:

    • Envelopes

    • Round Sponge Brush

    • Acrylic Paint – we used Whispering Turquoise, Pink Cadillac and Banana Cream

    Directions:

    There’s really not much to the instructions. Dab your brush in some paint and polka dot away. Once one side has completely dried… flip the envelope over and polka dot the back.

    Then the best part. Write someone a little letter or note and send it off to make someone’s day! We all know how fun it is to get something besides bills in the mailbox.

     

    We’d love for you to come over and visit us sometime. You can find us on our Blog || Facebook || and Instagram

    And if you enjoy Pinterest as much as we do you can find us here: Jamie || Jen || Jodie
    Thanks so much for having us Melissa!!

    GAH! I love this idea! How cute would this be for letters to far away college students or missionaries or even for Valentine’s Day??

    Here are some of my favorite posts from eighteen25. Make sure you stop by and tell them “hello” from me! (We’re headed to Disneyworld for Spring Break, can you tell I’ve got Mickey “on the brain”?)
