Step 2
Using a Tyvek envelope, cut a 2 x 13.5-inch strip or a 2 x 11-inch strip . Tyvek is recommended because it's plastic and won't rip or tear during shipping. Plus there's a sticky tab area on the end to help secure it inside the cookie.

Step 3
Attach two, $1 stamps to the left-hand side of each message strip. To avoid ink smearing on the plastic paper, write your mailing address and message with a permanent pen.

Poke a brad fastener through the foam paper circle, 1/4 of the distance from the right side.
