How to make a gift envelope origami for money using scrapbooking technique

Very often there are situations when it is necessary to present a gift for a holiday as a gift. It looks ridiculous, agree, just pull out a bill from your pocket and put it in the hand of someone you want to give a gift to. It has long been assumed that envelopes will be used for such operations. But it's not in the usual postal money to invest!

You can, of course, follow the path of least resistance and buy a gift envelope in the union - now this is no longer a problem. But creative people can make an original envelope of origami of their own design and decorate it in the technique of the modernest scrapbooking!

To make an origami of paper (envelope) a large size, you need to take a sheet of large format, for an average size is suitable sheet A 4. Put the sheet in front of you vertically and bend the bottom of the sheet upwards with a strip of 3 cm. Then you need to bend to yourself again Both lower corners of the part so that the bent ends do not protrude beyond the already bent strip and the sides of these bent corners are perpendicular to the sides of the sheet.

Now it is necessary to bend forward stripes from the lateral sides of origami. The width of the strips should also be 3 cm, but here you can do without measurements. The fold line must run along the vertical line of the bent lower corners.

Now you need to make sure that the envelope for money could be closed. To do this, you need to bend the upper corners of the sheet until it touches the middle of the sheet of the former sides - about so begin to make a simple origami plane. Lower the upper corner of the envelope down, but do not fix the fold yet. The point of the corner is inserted under the bottom strip until the angle can fit into the cut. As soon as you feel the emphasis - it means that you can fix the fold of the closing part of the envelope.

And now connect your creativity and decorate the gift envelope with origami to your liking. You can paste on it pieces of lace, small bows. And you can make small flowers from the fabric and arrange them with a bunch of flowers. If next to the bouquet stick a miniature photo of the person who is destined for the gift, carved with an oval, like a cameo, and then enclose a bouquet and a photo - a cameo in the heart, then you will express your love to the addressee.

There is one more way, how it is possible to combine an envelope of origami - a purse from paper. True, this option is not a gift, it rather acts as a children's toy. This model also requires a rectangular sheet. The upper corners are bent to the middle before contact, as when performing the aircraft. Then the upper, obtained by adding the angle, bends downwards so that the fold line is parallel to the underside of the sheet, and the sharp end of it would be just above the point of contact of the upper corners of the sheet bent up to that.

Do not tear off the model from the table, just turn the sheet 180 degrees. We perform all the actions described above on the other side of the model. Now, the top and the bottom of the part are bent to the middle of the sheet so that the lines of the folds are in contact.

Now we turn the envelope of origami with the rectangle bent downwards. It is necessary to bend to both sides of the strip along the width of the rectangle in such a way that when the model is turned upside down, there was a rectangle with one fractional cut. On it, and you need to bend the origami envelope, revealing this cut. The envelope of origami is almost ready, it even has two compartments for trivia!

From one compartment, you need to pull out a corner hidden there - it will serve to close the purse - toys. Children really like to play with these things, you can even invite them to paint it to your liking. And younger schoolchildren can even take such envelopes to school and store money in them for breakfast.
