Valentine's Day Pocket Letter - Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

 

How to Embellish and Fill a Pocket Letter for Valentine's Day

Hi! I'm sharing a pocket letter that I assembled for a gal pal for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. Pocket letters are a fun and crafty way to brighten someone's day! Rather than sending a traditional card in the mail for the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday, try filling pockets with handcrafted paper pieces and embellishments!

The small decorated papers are ready for use on all types of crafts. I applied adhesive to the back of all the embellishments in these pockets. My recipient can easily remove the liners and adhere the gems and buttons to almost any surface for fast and easy crafting.

What to Include in a Valentine's Day Pocket Letter

In all honesty, all Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products work great for pocket letters! I'm sharing my go-to adhesives for use on paper layers and heavier embellishments on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog.

What Adhesives Work Best for Pocket Letters

Once the paper layers and embellishments are complete, simply tuck the items into the pocket letter and fold up the letter for mailing.

How to Fold a Pocket Letter for Mailing

First, begin at the bottom of the pocket letter and fold the segments up. Next, tie a ribbon around the pockets to keep them folded. Then, secure more embellishments and/or a handwritten greeting to the pocket bundle. Finally, slide the pocket letter into a standard size 10 envelope and it is ready for the mail. Certainly I'd be happy to receive any gift from a valentine this month. But, how fun would it be to open a pocket letter? I hope I have inspired you to create a more unique form of happy mail.
