"Make Art" ATC Mailers

I’ve reached the point where my family is aware enough of my crafting that they’ve started asking “Would you have any use for [insert junk here]?” on a semi-regular basis. (The answer is usually yes.) So of course I accepted the disposable pan lids Mom was offering. They were already card shaped (more or less)!

I decided to turn them into mailers for ATCs.

They were trifold to start, so I cut off the tab side and then trimmed them up so both remaining sides were even. Then it was just some paint pens. A couple of them got a more doodley treatment, and a couple got a more abstract overlapping word design.

Behind the scenes on the abstracts:

Thank you!

I’m also in the category where people save everything for me. Mostly boxes, but I’d have totally taken those cake toppers too! hahah!
