Fold calendar page as you would a letter in thirds.
Then glue the bottom pocket on 1/4" both sides of the envelope or:
Stitch as I have here on the sewing machine
Add a sticky label and your return label and on the back close with decorative seal or initial sticker as I have done here.
This is a wonderful, easy craft for your kids, grandkids, college kids who will love these home-made beauties when receiving them in the mail!
I also made a pencil box last year for myself by folding the heavy calendar picture to accommodate the length of the pencils, embellished it with glued on rick-rack in gold and 2 buttons that I cut the loop off of the back and glued flat on the box. As you can see, I use this.
And last but not least, use the calendar pages to wrap small gifts!
