DIY Felt Valentine Envelopes

On any given day, you are pretty much guaranteed to find a Pottery Barn Kids catalog laying around somewhere in our house. As much as I love their products, I love their catalogs even more. There is just so much inspiration on every page, whether you are looking to redecorate a room, set a kid-friendly holiday or party table, or re-create an adorable craft. Have you seen these Envelope Chair Backers in one of their most recent catalogs?

So cute, right? What a great idea for a Valentine's party, especially if everyone is exchanging cards. My only issue is that I think $19 per envelope per child is a little pricey, no matter how cute it is. So, why not DIY? I came across this great DIY Felt Valentine Envelope tutorial from The Crafting Chicks (who were also inspired by Pottery Barn Kids) and had to share. They re-created these Valentine's Envelopes for less than $5 each. Now that's more like it! You can find a step-by-step tutorial, here, to create your own Valentine's Day Envelope like this one:

And, not only did the Crafting Chicks create an awesome DIY tutorial, but they included FREE printable "love mail" cards that you can print and fill your new Valentine's Envelope with. So sweet!
