This poll was pretty exciting... it had a record 147 votes, and almost half of those votes (46%) were for how to laminate an envelope! Thank you to everyone who stopped by and voted, I really appreciated it! And that you also for your comments on my previous post, How to Print On Sentence Strips. I really enjoy all of your sweet comments!
I have to say, I made a silly mistake today! When I laminated the envelope, I took a picture of it going into the laminator for the tutorial. But of course, I must have forgotten to save the picture because it's nowhere on my phone! Even being a "techie," I still make stupid mistakes occasionally!
Without further delay, here it is!

I hope you can find some use for these laminated envelopes! I cut up all of my sentence strips into individual words and store them in envelopes. On the envelope, I print the title of whatever poem/game is inside (e.g.: Who Stole the Cookies from the Cookie Jar?), along with a picture of the game. So of course... printing on envelopes is what I'll be adding to the poll for next week!
If you liked this tutorial (or any of my other tutorials), I'd really appreciate it if you could head over to the 2012 Fascination Awards and vote for me for Technology Teacher! Here's how to do it:

It's that easy... and I'd really appreciate it!
I love stopping by and reading your techy tips:) I have been wanting to create some clip art. Maybe you could got over some simple ideas like how to make a frame:))

I'm still trying to figure out how to do that in a free program! I do mine using a combination of Adobe Illustator and Adobe Photoshop, but they're each $500 programs. When I figure out how to do it in a free program I'll definitely blog about it!
DeleteThanks for sharing! This is something I never even knew I wanted to know :)! But so useful!

No problem! It really is something that once you know, you don't know how you ever lived without it!
DeleteThank you for sharing this tid bit! I saw someone mention they store center activities in laminated envelopes and I was like WHAT? I'm excited to know how to do this now:)

Oooh interesting! I usually use mine for my sentence strips, but center activities is another great idea. I may have to set those up this summer!
DeleteThanks for sharing all your useful tips!

No problem! I hope you find them helpful! I'll stop by and visit right now!
DeleteI love these little tips. I shared with my fellow teachers your blog on how to print on sentence strips and everyone loved it - mostly kinder and first. :)

I'm glad you and your fellow teachers like them! Some of them (like the sentence strips) are definitely more relevant to some grades than others, but some you can use for anything!
DeleteI tried to add your button to my blog so that people could click to you, but I couldn't find it on your page! :( Do you have a button code?

I actually don't! Perhaps I'll have to make one this weekend!
DeletePS: I just stopped by your blog and I love that you're a fellow tech addict!
This works for library card pockets too! Useful tips, thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery true! Thanks for the tip!!!
DeleteI've never tried laminating any envelope. But I'd like to try it out on some a5 window envelopes. I think it would be good to do so because the envelopes would be a lot tougher.
