How do you laminate them? like just the outside it laminated, like after they are folded?

@fro3239 Leigh McFo I laminate my own envelopes when they’re closed (like this emoji ✉️ lol) and then use an x-acto knife to cut on the line of the opening flap.

I just buy a box of 100 envelopes from the Dollar Tree and I made my own “trackers” that I glue to the front and back of the envelope. My envelopes stay home. I only carry with my grocery and my own personal money.

I bought sets of Christmas cards after the holidays, the kind meant for gifting money, and used those envelopes. I use an index card inside for tracking, so I can reuse them until they fall apart.
