Do any of you that make your own envelopes that are not a solid color have a better solution to the addressing problem than this?

'bout the only solution I can see so that it is legible and acceptable by the Post Office.

If you don't mind a bit of extra scalpel work and fiddling about, you can recycle a window from an old envelope thus:

In this case I attempted to make the pattern continuous by writing the address on draughting film (3 or 4 layers to make it semi-opaque), and then using the cutout from the main envelope as a background. Semi successful at best, and it doesn't show up too well in the photo because of blurring the address out.

I love using old postal labels. If you can't find any you can print this sheet of mine out on your printer and paste them on your envelopes.

Thanks, I ended up recreating one of those and printing a sheet.

So the front of the envelope is not as cluttered, I opt to put my return address on the back of the envelope, sometimes.
