Does anyone have any tips on 'undoing' the seams of an envelope? Apparently ironing them 'pops' them open, but I've tried that to no avail. I'm using pay-packet size brown ones, just big enough for a playing card, different envelope, hotter iron, steam?

Steam used to be the usual method of opening envelopes.

Thanks gents, I'll try them both tomorrow. ( don't trust myself after a couple of bevys with steam or scalpel!

put your envelope and a small mug with some water in, inside a microwave.

Or a hair straightener works too.

Hair straightners work a treat. They also make your hair look awesome for the gig you use the envelopes at

Love the straightners idea, I'm a baldie!...... :lol:

If you're careful, you should just be able to pull them apart. It doesn't matter if they're not perfect as I assume that you're going to restick them again afterwards.

Fixed it.

Anyway, what effect are you after? There may be an easier way than surgery.

I need to write a prediction inside the actual envelope, so it needs to come apart & then be re-stuck

You could buy them if you can't be bothered making them
