Easy Paper Origami Envelope Designs to Make
Envelopes don't need to be dull and boring. For paper crafts as well as for special looking notes and stationery, I like to fold my own decorative envelopes using some fairly easy origami techniques.
Luckily, there are some easy paper origami envelope designs that you can make. The paper folding has to be easy because I don't like crafting projects that take too long or that are too challenging to create.
Making a special envelope is a neat idea when you are writing a note for a loved one, perhaps for Valentine's Day or another special occasion. Mini envelope designs look fab when added on to handmade cards and also scrapbook layouts.

You can buy bigger sheets of paper and cut into a square to create larger sized finished pieces as required. Enjoy my own personal photos which demonstrate items that I have made and have lots of crafting fun. Have fun folding something great!
