Martina Calvi’s guide brings letter writing together with paper craft through 20 projects, including sticker letters, embroidered postcards, care packages and secret-message mail. It also covers the foundations of the practice: creating a personal correspondence style, making envelopes and wax seals, and adding individual details to each piece. The book extends beyond making mail to the social side of the hobby, with advice on finding pen pals and starting a snail mail club. Everyday moments, friendship and analog creativity connect the projects, framing handmade correspondence as both a craft and a way to maintain personal ties.
