So awesome! Now I am definitely having some fun with Xmas boxes I need to mail!

if I don't own a sewing machine, what might be a good alternative?? & what is the regular mailing size? how much should be cut to keep costs down?

@TheRedpotter Thanks!  I am really into Mail Art of all kinds!

@TheArtress Gosh! Sorry I missed these questions! They are easy to mail. I do cut them a little shorter in length so they fall into the "Flat" category for mailers instead of the next size up, which is "Package" as this keeps the cost down. I don't put heavy stuff inside...usually some paper items or lace, etc. and most mail for about $1.73. You can take them right into the PO. I have a scale at home and weight and just put postage on myself. Hope that helped!! :)
