How do I make a letter? 

Think about who you want to write to – a childhood friend, mentor, grandparent, significant other, yourself, etc.

Accumulate! (stickers, paper scraps, receipts, old newspapers, magazines, flyers, etc.).

Cut the extra paper at the top of each side.

Step 6: Decorate your envelope!

Put a U.S. postage stamp on the right corner (for international letters add 3 postage stamps, or purchase an international stamp from your local post office).

Once you’re are done decorating, place your collage on a flat surface.

Take an aerial picture and share it with us (@in_touch_letters) so we can add your envelope to our digital archive ;)
