Download Templates and Print Cover
Download our three custom-designed printable cover templates in red, green or blue, and print each design onto craft paper or card stock. Use a glue stick to mount the printed cover onto the front of the manila envelope, and repeat as needed.

Make It Personal
When the cover sheet is in place, fill in the "To" and "From" lines by neatly writing in the names of the recipient as well as your own. Both you and your loved ones will love this easy-to-wrap (and unwrap) parcel.
