Envelope liners are one of those things that are just “extra”. Meaning you don’t necessarily need them to have an amazing wedding, but they are an special touch that a details person such as myself just goes nuts over. They just add extra OOMPH. Yes, that’s a technical term. These liners are great for a wedding invitation, but you could also use them to personalize Christmas cards, party invitations, thank you cards, or even just a note to say hi. They are that easy to make!
I made these liners for our wedding invitations in an afternoon. Here’s what you need:
- Computer paper
- Glue stick
- Hole punch (I used a Martha Stewart brand edge punch I got with a coupon at Michaels)
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Envelopes
Step One
Use an envelope and a pencil to draw a template of an envelope liner.
Step Two
Cut out the template and use it to make as many liners as you need.
Step Three
Once you have all of your liners cut out, take your edge puncher and punch out the top edge.
Step Four
Using a thin layer of glue, attach the liner to the envelope. Then fold the flap shut to make a crease.

Katie these are fabulous!! And totally customizable, too!! I’m totally going to do them for my wedding stationary, and I think also for my business packaging!! Wonderful!!
If you use the envelope itself to draw the outline, the liner will be too large to fit inside the envelope.
The liner has to be smaller and even on both sides — you definitely need measurements
@Lauren, I did not find that to be the case when making the liners…after you trace it and punch out your design it will fit perfectly:)

you could also use doilies, just check the size to be sure it fits well, then cut the doily in half!! ~ love this idea {both your original one, & my addition} *wink*
Adorable!! These lace liners are so simply yet they make such a big difference. They really do add that extra oomph you were talking about. Great DIY!
