Once I found instructions on how to make a nail file envelope, which I embraced, because me too, I never have such a file when I need it and I don’t like to search ‘free’ nail files in the depths of my bag.
I’m not much of a stamper (although I would like to be ;-)), so I made them with my own with markers and a little moist coloured tissue papers, I collaged them from magazines and I made them from doodled coffee-dyed newspaper (see second photo).
Because I own 5 cm wide clear packaging tape (a little less than 2 inches), I made the envelopes slender enough to cover them completely with the tape. This way they are sturdier and more robust in the depths of my bag ;-)
The nail file envelopes are a lot of fun to make and a very good giveaway at nearly everybody. Even men took them voluntarily! ;-)
Most fun for everybody is, when I present the whole range of my nail file envelopes and everybody can select their own.

You have such cool links and I love what you did with the ‘envelopes’! Great idea, Susann. I have a gadget to make daisies like that… I might pop back over next week and feature you on Inspirational again – if you don’t mind!!
The schooling will continue from home, and as DD is nearly 14, she’d be able to enter college within 18 months, so it’s all good, really! She knows how to study and we shall make sure she applies herself – once she has been de-stressed! Thanks for your kind thoughts on our behalf. xoxoxo
