Good morning and welcome to Day 22! Second part of the envelope addressing installment...
4. Download and print this template.
You can use this for yourself or provide this to your addressing "benefactor"! You can slip this inside your envelopes (unless they are super thick and opaque, not likely unless you have purchased some pretty expensive ones) and use as a guide so your lines remain straight. This will make a HUGE difference, please consider downloading.

5. Invest in a magnifier.
A magnifier will assist you in creating addresses that are neater because each letter will be more proportionate. The naked eye cannot keep these letters uniform... This will be your best investment, for sure.
You can find this nice, moveable magnifier (with LED light) on Amazon for under $40
6. Grab some gel ink pens.
If you have never experienced the ease at which gel ink pens glide over paper, treat yourself to one or a dozen for this project. They come in multiple points: fine, medium and bold and a wide range of colors. These are widely available and will create a crisp, professional looking address if used along with some of the other tools suggested.
That's it for the addressing rotation! Let me know if you've got other D.I.Y. tips for managing multiple addresses. I'll be back tomorrow, have great weeks...
