Any do-it-yourself little thing, even a simple postcard, becomes a pleasant gift. If the recipient of such a treasure lives far away (that is, in a neighboring city), you can double the portion of positive emotions - send a homemade postcard in an envelope made with the same golden hands.
It is necessary
A4 paper sheet, glue
Instructions
Step 1
Take a sheet of A4 paper and place it vertically. Measure from the top side 3 cm and bend.
Step 2
Set aside 13 cm from the bottom side of the rectangle, draw a line and bend the sheet along it towards the top edge. Then straighten the sheet - fold both sides back.
Step 3
Set aside 1.5 cm from the left side of the rectangle and bend the edge of the sheet along this line. Do the same operation with the right side of the paper blank.
Step 4
4. Expand the sheet again. At the top left and right corners, the folds create small rectangles. From their top corner, measure 5 mm towards the center of the sheet of paper. Connect these points to the opposite bottom corner of the small rectangle. From the outer bottom corner of this rectangle, also step back 5 mm and draw a line to the same inner bottom corner. Make the same indentation at the bottom of the envelope. Cut off the areas that are the result (they are painted over in the figure).
Step 5
Lubricate the remaining side flaps with glue and attach the lower half of the envelope to them, gently press and smooth the paper.
Step 6
For a more traditional envelope, take a 21 x 21 cm square piece of paper. Position it so that the corners are on the vertical axis.
Step 7
Fold the left and right sides of the sheet towards each other so that the corners touch.
Step 8
Measure 8 cm from the bottom corner, draw a horizontal line and fold the paper along it towards the center. The corner should be slightly higher than where the left and right corners of the envelope meet.
Step 9
Bend the upper part of the blank down so that the corner of the envelope does not reach the bottom side 1, 5 - 2 cm. Connect the bottom and sides of the envelope with glue.
