Sprucing up a Boring Letter!

I’ve been needing to respond to one of my pen-pals, Lily, for a few days. But writing a letter can sometimes be boring and tiring. I barely ever fancify my letters, and they end up looking sorta sad.

But today, I decided to do something special and fun! I recently bought a HUGE pack of washi tape (that I LOVE!!!) and a couple packs of spring-themed stickers. So I broke out my supplies and sat down to write a lovely letter to my friend.

I picked out three tapes that looked good together for the inside of the letter (I used a different one for the envelope later on), my S-GEL Sharpie pen (they write so nicely, they’re my new favorite pens!), a couple markers, my sticker pad, and paper.

I started out with the washi tape and stickers, so that I wouldn’t have trouble adding them later over the top of the writing. It’s easier to write around stickers that are there than imagining where they will go later. 😂

Having finished the larger decorations, I wrote my letter. I added in some smaller stickers along the way where they fit, filling out the page and making it shine! 😁

After I finished the letter, I did the envelope the same way. Since we live near each other and usually deliver our letters by hand (LOL!), I didn’t bother with an address. I also added some washi tape on the back, not shown here.

And that’s it! It was super simple and fun, and I’m sure Lily will enjoy it. 😊

If you have a pen pal, just know it’s super fun to spruce up your letters, and it’s really easy! If you don’t have washi tape or stickers, you can always just doodle along the borders and color them in. That’s super fun as well!

Also, you can always make your own stickers! I figured out how to recently, and it’s really simple. That way, you can have custom stickers to your friends and hobbies, for free!

Have fun with your letters, and happy artzying!

God bless,
