Envelopes come in various shapes and sizes but sometimes you might find yourself in need of a specific size or simply want to get creative. Today, we will show you how to make an envelope from a regular A4 sheet of paper. It’s a fun and easy project that can be done in just a few minutes. Let’s get started!

Materials Needed:

  • A4 sheet of paper
  • A ruler
  • A pair of scissors
  • Glue stick

Instructions:

1. Start by placing the A4 sheet of paper horizontally on a flat surface. Orient it landscape-style so that the longer edges are on the top and bottom.

2. Take the bottom edge of the sheet and fold it upwards, aligning it with the top edge. Make sure the edges match perfectly and then crease the fold with your fingers or a ruler.

3. Now you have a long rectangle shape with an overlapping flap. This overlapping flap will serve as the envelope’s closure. Press the crease firmly to make it sharp.

4. Measure and mark a point approximately one-third of the way from the top of the rectangle, along the longer edge. This will be the top corner of your envelope.

5. Proceed to measure and mark two additional points along the longer edge, around 2-3 inches apart. These points will serve as the bottom corners of the envelope.

6. Take your ruler and draw diagonal lines connecting each of the marked points to the crease at the bottom of the rectangle. These lines will determine the shape of your envelope.

7. Carefully cut along the lines you just drew. Remember to use a ruler if needed, to ensure straight and precise cuts.

8. Once you have cut along the lines, you will end up with a shape that resembles a house with a peaked roof.

9. Apply glue along the side flaps of your envelope. The side flaps are the smaller triangles created when you cut along the lines.

10. Fold the bottom flap of the envelope upwards, overlapping it with the side flaps. Press firmly to secure the glue and create the envelope shape.

11. Allow the glue to dry for a few minutes, then gently lift the top flap and insert your letter or surprises inside your handmade envelope.

12. Finally, seal your envelope by folding the top flap down and tucking it underneath the bottom flap. Voilà! Your envelope from an A4 sheet is complete!

So there you have it! Making an envelope from an A4 sheet of paper is a quick and enjoyable DIY project that can come in handy for various occasions. Whether you are sending a heartfelt letter or surprising someone with a small gift, your handmade envelope will surely add a personal touch!

Give it a try and let your creativity shine. Happy crafting!
