You can fill these with poetic verses for your loved one, a gift certificate, tickets for the cinema, CD’s, etc... The basic materials you will need are large white envelopes and metallic or elegant looking wrapping paper and you will require about 2-3 hours time to make these because of the drying time of the paint.   These envelopes are created using silver metallic paper and the numbers are made using a Fiskars number template and silver dimensional paint with glitter. If you like gold instead, below is an alternative set of envelopes embellished with ornamental gold paper.
