If you’re like me you get a dozen different catalogs and pieces of junk mail each week. These catalogs come from all kinds of sources and are so difficult to stop. I could go on at length about how disappointing the practice is but I’m guessing you know, and there are other bloggers out there filling that niche. So – how about an idea for a homemade craft to recycle the junk for yourself?

I was planning to use this recycling idea for my Christmas cards this year, you can use the free pattern as it prints or scale it up or down to fit your Christmas cards, gift notes, etc.
Enjoy!
[...] finds and things I already own as my source of new raw material. This last posting on how to recycle catalogs was my favorite yet and in that spirit I was looking through recycling [...]
I like this idea. We’re going to do it with our cub scouts who need to write a thank you note and send it to someone!

Lovely idea! I always wanted to make my own envelopes with various types of papers, including catalogs. The free pattern is great
thank you!
Awesome idea!! I’ve got to give this a try!! Thanks!
The link to the free pattern doesn’t seem to be working. Any chance I can get the pattern any where else? They look great!
I too cannot access the free pattern for the envelopes made from catalogs. How can I get it? Thanks!
Sorry I have deleted that file for now. I’m thinking of listing it for free again in the Winter.
