Not sure how to give a card with an invitation to a birthday, party or dinner? Do you need packaging for a small gift? Make an original envelope with your own hands, spending only 15 minutes on it. First, it’s better to practice the “draft” and mark the lines with a pencil so as not to get confused. When you add up a craft for a gift, marking is not necessary.
You will need the following materials:
- beautiful wrapping paper, plain, colored;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- a pencil;
- ribbon or other details for decoration (lace, rhinestones, beads).

Step-by-step instruction.
1. From a sheet of paper, cut a square of the desired size, for example, 20x20 cm. Lay the blank in front of you and use a ruler and a pencil to divide it into 3 equal parts.

2. Make the folds, focusing on the markup in step 1. Next, fold the sheet two times in half diagonally (draw a pencil along the formed folds). The result is a kind of cross, crossed by three lines.

3. Bend the top of the workpiece to the first bottom of the strip.

4. Lift the lower right corner of the part of the sheet that you worked with in step 3. While holding the craft with your left hand, align the wrong side of the paper with the diagonal line drawn with a pencil. Seal the fold with your finger.

5. Grasp the right half of the paper and point it toward the center (left hand). Seal the fold.

6. Turn the craft counterclockwise, preparing for the next step.

7. Likewise, raise the lower right corner. With your fingers on the left half, guide the paper with your right hand. The result should be a triangle, one edge of which must be combined with a diagonal line drawn by a pencil, and the second with another similar figure.

8. In the same way as in step 5, bend and tighten.

When performing paragraph 16, do not forget to put inside the envelope present, postcard or invitation card. It is especially convenient to use such a scheme for making crafts, when you need to make several pieces at once - a minimum of materials is expended, and assembly time does not take so much.
