Do you make a hole in the envelope so that the masking tape
sticks itself and the envelope to the wall?

Or should the masking tape be double sided to stick to the wall
and the envemope.

But I'm still not clear quite how you use the arrangement.
Could you or someone else give a bit more detail please.

Why, are you so clueless ?

Heh!

Maybe because I do not see myself as an expert DIYer who knows
everything.

I think I saw the suggestion as clever than it really was. If it
really is as over-simple as it perhaps seems then it's obviously
not going to work for me as I find masonsry dust spreads. Catch
it falling into an envelope? It's not made of large granules, you
know.

Imagine drilling a hole above the skirting board for a phone
socket with this approach. How is this envelope trick going to
work in such a smal space? Please explain.
