To make an origami envelope, fold a square piece of paper in half like a triangle, then fold the top point of the first layer toward the bottom. Next, fold the outer points toward the center, so the bottom is square. Along the square, fold the left point back to the left edge, fold it again back toward the middle, then unfold the last fold. Next, turn your envelope so the top point is facing you, then take the folded portion and squish it flat. To finish it off, turn it again so the pointy part is on top, then fold the point down and tuck it into the pocket. Keep reading for some creative ways to use your envelope!
