Step 4: Seal and Display
Use the address labels to seal each envelope with the index card inside. Display in a place you look at every day so you remember to open the activity! Clip the envelopes to a string to create a Christmas garland or store together in a box. We used a recycled greeting card box to hold our envelopes.
