DIY Postal Sachets

The Brit & Co. Duct Tape Envelopes are a Funky Way to Send Mail

— July 21, 2012 — Art & Design
These Brit & Co. Duct Tape Envelopes are a funky new way to send mail. Instead of mailing out a dull and boring sachet, you can send out a hip and modern letter.

The only materials needed to put these together is some Scoth Color & Patterns Duct tape and a pair of scissors. You simply layer some scotch tape strips along a surface, and once you peel it off it forms a sheet. You then repeat the process by using a different pattern of tape, but instead you overlap the first sheet in the opposite direction. Once that is complete, you are then ready to cut out the envelope shape and put it together.

The Brit & Co. blog is a lifestyle brand that is always looking for creative and simple ideas such as these Duct Tape Envelopes, which are sure to surprise.
