In spite of the fact that today in shops it is possible to get practically any thing, many people prefer to do small hand-made articles by the hands. For example, to pack with own hand made card, it is possible to use a self-made envelope. Everything that will be required, is the nobility how to do an envelope of paper and to spend not enough time.
How to do an envelope of paper by the hands?
For a start let's talk about what paper will be suitable for with own hand made packing for a card and the letter. Many people are interested whether it is possible to use dense cardboard. It is not recommended to do it, such paper is badly bent, and it will be not too convenient to make of it the envelope and a hand-made article can turn out not accurate. It is better to take usual or color paper, it is possible to make of such materials as an envelope for the letter of standard white color, and more unusual color packing for a card.
So, let's consider how it is possible to make an envelope of the sheet A4.
- For a start we take the sheet of paper and we cut out from it a square. To make it simply, only surely use a ruler, it will be so possible to avoid emergence of various roughnesses. Now we put a square on diagonal that is so that two opposite located its corner adjoined.
- Further, we bend one corner of the turned-out triangle so that the line of the second bend was parallel to the line of the first bend, and the unbent corner of a leaf concerned it the top.
- Without overturning a triangle, it is necessary to bend both left and its right edge perpendicular to the first line of a bend. At the same time it is important to measure correctly distance on which there will pass the line of a bend. It is simple to make it. Imagine a usual envelope, and measure by means of a ruler from each party distance which has to correspond to two parameters – they have to be identical on the relation each other and also almost completely close triangular edge which was received at the work of the second bend (watch Paragraph 2).
- Having measured distance and having made a bend, not letting go paper, we do one more bend. The movement of the right hand at the same time will be in the direction back that is if to look at the movement of fingers, starting with Paragraph No. 3, then the trajectory will be to the left-inside. At the work of the second bend, the distance equal to a half from what was measured in Paragraph No. 3 is unbent.
- Repeat operation according to the previous point for the second party.
- It was necessary only to record the parties of an envelope that it did not break up. It is possible to make it by means of glue or an adhesive tape.
By means of this way it is possible to make, both an envelope for the letter of paper, and packing for a card.
In order that packing turned out more festive, it is possible to make it of color paper, or to decorate with applique or the drawing. Here everything already depends on your personal imagination and preferences.
It is important to remember that in order that the envelope turned out accurate, it is necessary to fix very carefully and carefully its parties by means of glue. It will be better to use a thin brush for its drawing. Or to use so-called glue stick, it is quite convenient to apply it.
Also do not forget that before packing the letter or a card into an envelope, it is necessary to allow it to dry. Otherwise the message can simply stick to a glue strip.
It is also necessary to close such packing by means of glue. For this purpose on area where at standard envelopes the sticky strip is located, cause a small amount of means and press the closing corner to it.
