Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

Our family has a Thanksgiving tradition to play bingo after we've enjoyed our turkey and we hosted this year so I made these money envelopes for the prizes.

They are so easy! And you can adapt them for any occasion!

Just use an 8 by 7 piece of cardstock, scoring on the 8 inch side at 2 1/4 and 5 1/4. I used some heavy adhesive to adhere just the sides of the inside pocket.
