Using Twine on Custom Packages to Mail
So now my letter is almost complete. I'm going to bind it with twine inside the envelope. Now you can put twine on the outside. You have to make sure there is no big strings sticking out to far. I'm going to roughly just measure here. Make a little snip. I can always, it is better to have more than less you can always snip the excess at the end. I'm just going to do simple cross over here in the back, similar that you do to a gift. I'm going to make it a little bit offset just so you can read the address easier. So I'm crossing it over here, pulling each side tight. I'm going to just make a simple bow on this side. Tie it. Then I'm going to snip off the edges just a little bit to make it look a little nicer. That's good. Now it is ready to go to the envelope. I smudged the ink a little bit. Make sure you wait until your ink dries. Not to bad. It will still work. Into the envelope it goes. I'm going to close it with the adhesive it already has built in. Next we are going to do a wax seal and look at what we got.
