DIY Cash Envelopes
A cash envelope is a physical envelope designated for a certain budget category that you can use when needed instead of using your debit or credit card. When the money in the envelope runs out, you know you're done spending for that specific category until you refill it with more funds.
The cash envelope system works by taking the amount of money needed for each specific budget category (i.e., gas, groceries, and entertainment) and putting that amount into an individual cash envelope at the beginning of each month or pay period. Once the cash runs out in that envelope, you cannot spend any more money in that category until the next month/pay period or until you refill it with more funds.

The technique allows you to make an envelope using pretty papers that would be too fragile to be used alone.
