Speaking of transportation allowance envelopes, it has recently become fashionable to DIY them using a particular item.

What exactly is that item?

Wrapping Transportation Allowance Envelopes with "Tracing Paper" is Trending!

The item in question is semi-transparent "tracing paper"!

Tracing paper is thinner and more translucent than regular paper. It's popular to print your favorite designs on this tracing paper and wrap it around the envelope like a traditional Japanese gift wrap to create a transportation allowance envelope. ♡

Tracing paper is not only stylish but also has the advantage of being easy to DIY! ♡

While it's difficult to print on regular envelopes with a home printer, some tracing papers can be printed on depending on the product.

Additionally, you can find it at 100 yen shops, making it cost-effective as well. ◎

Even if you don't have a printer at home, printing services like Kinko's can also have it, so you can bring in your data and have it printed.
