Step 1 Draw Your Heart Out
Draw a simple envelope. Mine is approx. 2 inches wide and 1 1/4 inch tall. Then color in if needed and cut out.
Step 2 Hidden Message
Cut out a second piece a paper, making it slightly smaller than the size of your envelope. Fold this paper in half. Then fold back a thin sliver of paper at the bottom and top (opposite direction from the first fold). Use these top and bottom fold tabs to glue to one side of your clothespin.
Step 5 Wrap It Up
Cut your envelope in half. Glue the top piece to the top of your clothespin, in front of the hidden message. Repeat with the bottom half, lining up the two pieces. Make sure your envelope covers your love note!
