Simply print the voucher, fold the envelope according to these instructions and get started. You can wrap this book gift idea in an envelope from old book pages in about 20 minutes. This is how it works!
This book gift idea in an envelope made from old book pages is quick to make with the free printable voucher template and conveys an important message: You are important to me!
Because instead of running to the shop and buying a plastic voucher card, I made a voucher especially for you. And the best thing about this book gift idea is: it probably takes less time to make it than it does to go to the bookstore and buy a book voucher 😉
I made this book gift voucher for a dear friend whom I see far too rarely. She loves books just like I do and enjoys browsing for hours in the bookstore. And that’s exactly what I wanted to give her. A book voucher with the special extra of browsing together in the bookstore and gifting her with the greatest treasure she finds.
Bookworms know that many a hero has found a strange book between old, dusty spines. When you open it, your heart starts to race and the journey to Fantasyland begins…
On the material list you will find everything I used to make this book token. If you don’t have an old book you want to cut up, just use an old newspaper!

How to Make this Creative Book Gift Idea
Duration: about 20 minutes – or 5 minutes without a self-made envelope.
All you really need for the book gift coupon is a colour printer. If you have enough time and a print shop around the corner, I recommend printing it out on high-quality paper, which costs no more than a maximum of one dollar.
The most time-consuming part is making the envelope as packaging, but that’s what makes it original. If possible, use a funny book or comic strip!
Tip: Newspapers have a page with a satirical comic at least once a week, which you can use wonderfully.

Note: The colour choice of the book voucher template differs from my voucher in the photos. This is because I coloured my voucher by hand as a first draft.
