Instructions
Step 1
It is very easy to make an envelope out of A4 paper. To do this, take an ordinary white sheet that is used for printing and place it in front of you.
Step 2
Visually or with a pencil, divide it into two parts. One half of the sheet should be slightly larger than the other by 3-5 centimeters. Bend A4 sheet along the marked line and iron the fold line well with your hand.
Step 3
Fold small sections of paper on each side. They can be bent both inward and outward. Glue these parts of the envelope together.
Step 4
Lower the side remaining from the division of the sheet onto the base of the envelope, smooth the fold line with your fingers. After packing the papers you need, seal the envelope.
Step 5
You can make an envelope out of A4 paper in another way. To do this, take a sheet and a ruler. Expand a sheet of paper horizontally, measure 72 mm from the upper right and lower left corners. Connect these points to the opposite corner. Cut off unnecessary parts of the sheet.
Step 6
Expand the resulting diamond lengthwise. Fold the left and right triangles so that their corners touch each other. Pull the lower part towards the center so that the corner slightly covers the converging side triangles. Glue the base of the envelope if necessary. Fold over the top with a slight overlap. And your envelope will be ready. You managed to make an envelope out of A4 paper with your own hands, you can wrap a letter, money or other necessary little things in it.
