Envelopes can be so boring, so I decided to make some of my own.
Ingredients:
(1) Paper grocery bag
(1) Geological Survey Map of Permafrost and Ground Ice Conditions
(1) Boring envelope you can open and trace
Rubber cement
Scissors
Pencil
The two layers are great because it's like a mullet: business in the front, party in the back (or inside in this case..you get the point). It also makes for a thicker envelope, which just feels nice and like you paid a lot for it, which we know you didn't. You can use old wrapping paper, newspaper, comics, phone book pages, sewing patterns....whatever you can rubber cement and fold without having a problem. Brown paper has such a great texture too - great for transfers if you really want to go to town.
Since I didn't want to glue these guys shut, I just found some stickers to do the job:

You are so cool. I am stealing this, but maybe going for a different type of permafrost map...just to change it up ;)
