My best tip would be to protect your paper strips, use the empty plastic case from a Ferraro Rocher 48 count box of chocolates. It’s the perfect height and you’re helping environment by recycling….and best of all….FREE 😋

@UCs8FwI%F0%9F%98%805HCz-Ig75Q-TFSDtg Thanks for sharing your methods Kandie! I have used those plastic cases too (I love up-cycling too! 🥰) and they're great for formed pieces because it prevents them from getting crushed. However, when I want to organize my pre-cut strips, this is a my new favorite method: kzread.info/dash/bejne/paufqs6zcb3gipc.html I also made a shorter one for strips that I cut myself: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qp5ouLiefazNY7Q.html

You’re welcome! This envelope is good for hand delivery but it’s not strong enough for the postal machines. You need corrugated cardboard to prevent it from being crushed. Here is a video explaining more. Quilling Boxes for Mailing and Storage kzread.info/dash/bejne/qGeNyNhrmKSqaco.html

That is a great idea! Thanks! :-)

This is wonderful! Thank you SO much for both the instruction and the free pattern! 🥰 I can’t figure out how to get my Cricut to just score and not cut the dotted lines. Once I figure that out, I’ll be able to make lots of envelopes ahead of time, which will inspire me to fill them. 😀

Hi Marguerite, I’m glad you like my pattern! I have a Cricut Explore and I prefer the dotted lines because I find the score lines made by the Cricut to be not very precise, nor strong enough to make the kind of crease I want, especially on card stock.

What a beautifully simple way.. thanks for sharing ! I am looking for ideas of how to protect quilling art for sending via courier overseas . Glass framing for wall hangings is a way but ends up becoming very expensive and adds to the courier weight and cost as well. Any suggestions please ?

@PaperZenCeceliaLouie

Hi Ankita, I'm glad my simple box is helpful for protecting your quilling projects. Glass and frames indeed are very heavy to ship. Perhaps it would be cheaper to ship only the finished artwork and allow the buyer to decide on their own framing instead.

You're so amazing! Thanks for this video. I gotta get my printer machine up and working! Not sure if you said it or not but can I use regular light cardstock fron Michaels (176gr/m2) to make that enveloppe or will it be too thin with the risk of damaging the quilling work inside? I have TONS of Michaels carstock.

I’m glad you liked my tutorial musicTime! I’m not sure where you’re fearing the damage would come from if using 176 gr/m2? I would think that’s thick enough for hand delivery but certainly not strong enough for mailing.

@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie I see, so I should be getting their thicker cardstock to make the envelope for mailing (that's my plan), because for sure mail comes damaged sometimes and quilling is so delicate. Thanks!!

@PaperZenCeceliaLouie

Cardstock might not be strong enough to withstand mailing conveyer belts. There is a reason why Amazon ships everything in cardboard boxes. Here is an older video I made: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qGeNyNhrmKSqaco.html

Cecelia, could you possibly tell me what the dimensions should be to fit a 5x7" card?

@PaperZenCeceliaLouie

Hi Marguerite, sorry I don't have those dimensions off the top of my head, but if you enlarge my pattern by 125%, it should provide you with a pillow box large enough to fit a 5x7 inch card.

Me too! I like the video but can't see where to get the free template!

No it’s definitely not strong enough to withstand the rigours of a postal service at all. You must use something stronger made of much firmer material like corrugated cardboard. Here’s a video showing that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qGeNyNhrmKSqaco.html
