The other day I needed to make a quick envelope to go with some gifts and was about to look up a tutorial for it when I thought, surely it can’t be that hard to make. After a little thinking this is what I came up with.

Finished Envelope

First take a square of paper and placing it ‘wrong’ side up, fold it in half corner to corner

Then fold the tip down to the middle

Open the square to reveal the fold lines

Fold the bottom triangle to the middle of the ‘wrong’ side

Next fold two of the corners into the centre

Fold the rectangle back up to meet the fold lines

Fold down the triangle and you will see your envelope form

Ta Daaaa! The finished envelope

You could easily trim the inside flaps and glue them down if you wanted to. I just used a sticker to hold down the triangle once putting contents inside.
