1. Get a square of paper and hold it with the corner facing you. Make sure the colored side is downward if you want a colored envelope.

2. Along the square, fold the paper in half from corner to corner.

3. Fold the first layer's top corner to the bottom edge.

4. Turn the paper's right corner a third to the left.

5. Fold the left corner to the other end, starting at the top. Now the base should have a square form.

6. Fold the flap's tip over the other flap and back to the model's left edge.

7. Fold the flap's tip up to its top corner. Unfold. This crease serves as a guide for the next move.

8. Crosswise, rotate the paper. Now the angle of the envelope will change.

9. Open the flap's folded portion.

10. On this flap, fold it in half. Be careful to flatten it completely; doing so will help keep the envelope closed.

11. Put it back in the "upright" position.

12. At the bottom edge, fold the very top tip.

13. Insert the top flap (the part you just folded down) into the "pocket" the squash fold created.

14. Now you can draw something on your envelope or use your accessories to beautify it. Make the envelope flat. Please make sure the design can maintain its quality.

A Hidden Message Envelope

Most women love being surprised, and little things made with effort can flatter them. When your girlfriend opens the envelope, they may blush in reaction to the hidden message. How to do it

1. Take a plain sheet of paper and write your message.

2. Half it into a hamburger-style fold. The note should appear on the inside. 

3. Fold the paper in half. 

4. Take one side of the paper and, with the words facing you, fold it at a right angle so that the edge meets the first crease. Apply this on the opposite side.

5. Each right triangle has an empty area on one of its sides. Fold that area with one side such that it touches the right triangle. Apply this on the opposite side.

6. Next, fold one of the sides at a right angle to the initial crease.

7. Apply this on the opposite side.

8. Afterward, choose one of these last triangles. There will be a tiny flap under the tip of it. 

9. Move the point of the triangle under the flap that already exists.

10. Decorate the envelope to look more creative and lovely.
