GIFT ENVELOPE MADE OF PAPER

Send

Not sure how to give a card with an invitation to a birthday, party or dinner? Do you need packaging for a small gift? Make an original envelope with your own hands, spending only 15 minutes on it. First, it’s better to practice the “draft” and mark the lines with a pencil so as not to get confused. When you add up a craft for a gift, marking is not necessary.
You will need the following materials:
- beautiful wrapping paper, plain, colored;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- a pencil;
- ribbon or other details for decoration (lace, rhinestones, beads).

Step-by-step instruction.
1. Cut a square of the desired size from a sheet of paper, for example, 20x20 cm. Lay the blank in front of you and use a ruler and a pencil to divide it into 3 equal parts.

2. Make the folds, focusing on the marking in step 1. Next, fold the sheet two times in half diagonally (draw a pencil along the formed folds). The result is a kind of cross, crossed by three lines.

3. Bend the top of the workpiece to the first bottom of the strip.

4. Lift the lower right corner of the part of the sheet that you worked with in step 3. While holding the craft with your left hand, align the wrong side of the paper with the diagonal line drawn with a pencil. Seal the fold with your finger.

5. Grasp the right half of the paper and point it toward the center (left hand). Seal the fold.

6. Turn the craft counterclockwise, preparing for the next step.

7. Likewise, raise the lower right corner. With your fingers on the left half, guide the paper with your right hand. The result should be a triangle, one edge of which needs to be combined with the diagonal line drawn by a pencil, and the second with another similar figure.

8. In the same way as in step 5, bend and tighten.

9. Rotate the future envelope counterclockwise.

10. Repeat the same action as in step 7. In the center you should get three identical triangles.

11. Press the resulting square to the right, tighten the fold.

12. Grasp the inner rectangle, bend it. Seal the right edge of the lower triangle.

13. While holding the middle of the craft with your left hand, press on the right half of the paper and press. Fold a square with a finger.

14. Grasp the corner of the lower left triangle and bend it to the right.

15. Reassemble the envelope. Bend the triangles to the center, starting from the right. The sequence is counterclockwise.

16. Pull out the right triangle that you bent first, “fill” it, as shown in the figure.

17. Decorate the craft with the decorative elements you like - glue the lace, tie a ribbon or make a voluminous bow.

When performing paragraph 16, do not forget to put a gift, a card or an invitation card inside the envelope. It is especially convenient to use such a scheme for making crafts, when you need to make several pieces at once - a minimum of materials is spent, and assembly time does not take so much.
