VIDEO: Felt Envelopes
Deliver a cute DIY craft
For this month’s free Craft Camp project, Emily is showing you how to make these adorable felt envelopes for Valentine’s Day. Craft them for your kids as a gift, and slip a sweet handwritten note inside. Or, depending on your kid’s age, this could be a fun craft project you do together.
If you’re a member, you can also make our felt play mailbox to go along with them.
Goodies You Can't Google

Ready to start crafting? Our video tutorial will show you how to make a no-sew version and a stitched version. Try them both, or pick the one you like best!
Everything we used for both versions of this felt craft is linked below, but you can always use whatever you have on hand. You can also use our printable template or SVG file (at the end of the post) to make as many felt envelopes as you’d like in all kinds of color variations. Once your envelopes are assembled and gifted, they can be used long past the holiday for pretend play.

Back to the TopI love the look of the envelope, but it will not load to my cricut design space canvas no matter what I do. I have tried various “fixes” to no avail. I don’t know if you have encountered this issue before. Thank you for posting this beautiful design!
I think it is fixed now. Let me know if that works.
Hello,
I am trying to make this for Valentines Day but when I print out the template the envelope, comes out smaller than the video how can i print a bigger template? or what is the size that is used on the video?
When you print the template make sure your printer is at full size or 100%. Sometimes it will downsize which is frustrating. You can also enlarge the template if you are wanting them larger.
Hey there Lia!
I must say that I love this craft and I would like to know how to make the mail box but it is saying that I have to be a member for that pattern. How much does it cost for a membership and how long does a membership last? Please let me know!
Hi Penny! There should be a button on that page that will give you the page to sign up for membership. You can see the price options and membership tiers there. Hope you join us! Our community has a lot of fun. 🙂
What a fun tutorial Emily and thank you so much for all the great tips! I can’t wait to make these and looking forward to the making the mouse this summer.
I will pass this along to Emily!
Can*t remember this Valentine mouse, Was it a project any time?
Aha! We were wondering if someone would notice. It is coming this summer! 😉
