Step 1

First, click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™.

Step 2

Cut the envelope and insert from felt.
TIP: The Cricut® will prompt you when to load the scoring wheel and the rotary cutting wheel.

Step 3

Cut two 24" [60.1 cm] pieces of cording.

Step 4

Align the ends together so the cords are parallel to each other and push one end of both cords through the hole in the felt envelope. Tie an overhand knot in the cord ends to hold in place. Trim ends.
TIP: When folded, the knot should be on the top (or outside) of the envelope.

Step 5

On the other cord ends, tie a knot in each about 2" [5.1 cm] from the end. Add a bead to each, then tie another knot to secure the bead to each cord. Trim ends.

Step 6

Add a handmade necklace and earrings to the insert and place in the centre of the envelope.

Step 7

Fold the side flaps over the centre and the bottom flap over the side flaps.

Step 8

Fold the top over the centre and wrap the cords around the envelope a couple of times and tuck the beaded ends through the wraps.
