The reindeer envelope is the perfect companion for lovely lines at Christmas, as voucher packaging and also for small gifts. Of course, our reindeer can not only be given away at Christmas - who can resist such cute mail? Sew this cute envelope in reindeer look easily with our instructions and free templates.
This is how the envelope is sewn:
First print out the pattern and transfer all the motifs onto the craft felt, the fleece and the motif fabric as shown below. Cut everything out with sharp scissors.
4x Antlers - Craft felt light brown
2x Antlers - Vlieseline
1x Nose - craft felt brown
1x forehead - craft felt white
2x Inner ear - Craft felt White
4x ears - motif fabric linen look
2x ears - fleece linen
The ears:
First sew the inner ears onto the motif fabric ears with the zigzag stitch. Then place the fleece on the back and the second motif fabric ear on top. Press the ears together on a medium level. The interfacing will glue the two pieces of fabric together. For a nicer look, sew the edges of the ears with the zigzag stitch.
The antlers:
Place a Vlieseline antler piece between each of two craft felt antler pieces and iron them together. Make sure you put a cloth or fabric in between when ironing felting. Sew the edges with the zigzag stitch here too.
Envelope:
Draw a rectangle measuring 45 cm high x 25 cm wide on both fabrics and on the fleece linen. Note that you will need to mark a seam allowance on the fabrics later. Therefore, leave enough space at the edges of the fabric.
Lay the fabric in front of you with the short side facing you. Draw a centre line vertically along the long sides. Mark the points on the upper short side, starting from the centre line 2 cm to the left and 2 cm to the right. On the centre line, mark the point at 6 cm. Draw a horizontal line from this point. Connect the ends of the line with the two points at the top of the line. Now you can see the envelope flap. Mark the 1cm seam allowance on the fabrics and cut everything.
On the motif fabric draw a horizontal line at 17 cm and from this line draw a horizontal line at 34 cm. It's best to do this with a Strich-Ex pen, because it can be wiped away later with a little water.
Place the motif fabric blank on the table with the right side facing up. First pin the front piece to the fabric and sew it on with the zigzag stitch. Repeat the same with the nose. Then you can sew on the antlers at the point marked at 34 cm and the ears.

Turn the fabric over and iron on the interfacing. Now pull off the backing sheet. Turn it right side up again and place the cotton fabric over it. Pin the two pieces together and sew along the seam allowance. Leave a turning opening on the side. Turn the envelope over and iron it again so that the cotton fabric also joins the fleece line.
Fold the envelope at the point marked at 17 cm and sew the sides together with the zigzag stitch. This also closes the turning opening. Now cut two pieces of the same size from both Velcro halves. Join the two pieces and stick the first sticky side to the inside of the envelope flap. Fold it closed so that the second adhesive side also sticks to the envelope. Optimum adhesion is achieved after approx. 24 hours. Finally, glue on the wobbly eyes and you're done.
