Easy Origami Envelope Letterfold Tutorial - (Simon Andersen) Paper Kawaii

Learn how to make an easy origami envelope. This origami letterfold will only take you about 2 minutes or less to make. Make from 1 sheet of rectangular or square paper.
If you use square paper, you'll need to fold the bottom edge up twice (double up) at 0:56 - easier to just use rectangular paper!
Such an easy envelope! This is known as an origami 'letterfold' as you're meant to write your letter or note on the paper and then fold it up into the letterfold. The note will be hidden inside.
Of course you can put a seperate letter or item inside the envelope too.
We don't often have 1 star (very easy) models on this channel, hope you enjoy!

I like that you actually slow down enough to point things out. The camera angle is perfect. Thank you.

[@muzvid]

For US folders, as several commenters have mentioned, this needs adaptation to suit 8.5" x 11" paper. Trimming the width to 7.75" is one option. However, this can be avoided by a simple modification at 0:55. Instead of folding the flap in half, folding in thirds will do the trick. (Paper Kawaii suggests this in a reply. I discovered this solution by trial and error.)

[@delphines792]

I was looking for an easy design to send out my Christmas gift tags to Etsy buyers and this is spot on!

[@belle3598]

Easy to follow, simple steps and a good pace for a final envelope that looks giftworthy. End product looks just like the tutorial, even though I used a crookedly cut roughly A4 sheet, and it still turned out. Thank you and well done!

[@ArnavPremchand]

I THOUGHT THIS WAS TOO HARD BUT WHEN I TRIED IT CAME OUT PERFECTLY THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@phionaphoo]

I really like this envelope. Its really easy to fold and the design is unique. I'll definitely use it :D

[@mattydouglas]

This video could not have been more perfect. Thank you for the solution to my problem and a skill that I will never forget

[@ADistractedDad]

Perfect! Just did this with my daughter for my wife! Thank you!

[@koko_duckiee]

Thanks! I'll use the envelope for Christmas.

[@DrexYiii]

Very easy, lovely design, and amazingly; precisely money sized

[@betsywilsonczt3290]

Cool....adding this to my collection of envelopes❣

[@michelleross9782]

You have some unique designs, thanks for sharing! The only thing I don't like about origami is the measuring folds that go across what would be smooth areas. I wish there were more tutorials that showed partial creases which didn't go across the entire piece... Yes, that's MY personal preference.

[@paperkawaii]

MICHELLE ROSS I agree usually, I try to keep it as clean as possible, for very easy folds, I keep the extra crease for beginners it’s easier :)

[@nanadjoaasantewaa3092]

Thank you. You made my life easier

[@georgespinner3503]

Thanks this is great. I've also discovered that if you want a bigger envelope you can take the staples out of the centre of a normal A4 magazine and then use those pages (UK). That paper is A3 when unfolded, so it makes an envelop that when finished fits an A4 piece of paper folded in thirds.

[@claudiapanozomardones7815]

Bonito, práctico y súper fácil! Gracias!!! Beautiful, useful and super easy! Thanks!!!

[@angrydinosaur8plus9]

Quick and easy to follow. Subscribed! Thanks!

[@shine-uy5fq]

thank you for this! I'm writing a couple letters right now and this is very creative

[@neenasatpathy176]

Great then my shoped envelopes I will try this 😄😄😄😄

[@ishand8209]

Easy to make, thank you, clear instructions.

[@sisforshayla]

Love that I didn't have to cut my paper down for this. My last fold there (x2) was vertical instead of diagonal, but still works great, thanks!!

[@angusdrummond6945]

I came back to this one and favourited it because it's my favourite type of envelope to make.

[@gabbysaillian6633]

Turned out great! Thanks for sharing

[@imimagiro]

This model is not a traditional! It's "Favorite envelope" by Simon Andersen. It has been published in "25 years, Envelope and LetterFold Association, ELFA 1988-2013" edited by Origami Deutschland in 2013, on page 36, diagrams by Elsje van der Ploeg.

[@paperkawaii]

imimagiro thank you so much for letting me know! I will update the information asap.

[@stellabar623]

I made it and turned out perfectly, TYFS. Do you have an envelope to make for. Standard size card? About 4.5 inches by 6 inches?

[@OmoleOmole-jg4ed]

Brilliant tutorial, thankyou x

[@johnl9579]

I can’t fit my point into that little slot, because it’s not big enough. Any solutions?

[@theresedignard4267]

In inches this is 8.4 x 11.88 inches and needs to be cut down from a larger sheet. It does not work with the traditional A4 standard sheet of 8.5 x 11 inches. But love the design. If you double that final fold angle in half again it makes for a think envelope, but works. End envelope is a tad smaller but successful.

[@mathewwarjoysky7665]

Simple and great. Thank you. :*

[@marciafernandez8701]

Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@tangytablets5150]

Perfect for turning your heartfelt letters into their very own envelopes

[@zmjw0504]

i love it😍 thank you so much🙏🙏

[@Machka0]

Thanks :) I made a bunch of these to use as seed sachets

[@amandakanashiro3668]

FANTASTIQUE 🎉🎉🎉 Tu es super ❤ merci pour vous travaille

[@sirClogg]

if you need the exact dimensions divide the short side by 0.34 and the long side by 0.5 to get the required size of paper. (I needed 5x10 envelope so 5/0.34=14.7 and 10/0.5=20)

[@vovofil]

do you think it could go through the mail? My great aunt's birthday is coming up, but she lives in Kiev. I made her a gift, but we don't have any envelopes. So I think I'll use this one.

[@craftbegins9463]

Super cute and cool

[@AROC88]

Thank you!

[@shawtiti316]

Thank you sooooo much❤😘😘

[@lailymedha595]

Wow, just as simple as cooking an instant ramen 😂 I use it as a bookmark though

[@DoodleinmindYT]

I love origami but I’m no good at it lol however I was able to complete this my 1st try!

[@flamminia]

Very cool, thanks Kanye

[@zainasangani6g597]

i really like your videos

[@kuhujoy]

thank you so much!

[@jessicabrent2274]

I ran out of envelopes.....so this was my only alternative

[@melissaanne89]

This can be use in sending letters through courier which you need not to buy an envelop

[@julezdacoolz5955]

What about letter size?

[@theresedignard4267]

My A4 paper is 8.5x11 inches. Maybe I should up my paper size by one?

[@PhilWithCoffee]

Does anybody know if this is acceptable with the USPS? Or should we tape it shut?

[@janellecookson7933]

gee winter where u are? fuzzy top nice envelope and more my ability!!

[@paperkawaii]

Yes winter here is Australia - although it's warm compared to most places in summer.. 😆

[@pung2633]

me encanta el video!! chulísimo!! Saludos :)

[@MayLo]

Thanks😂

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

Hello Chrissy, is there much of a difference if I use letter size 8.5 x 11inch ?

[@paperkawaii]

Richard Dominguez I think it would work fine, at 0:56 just make sure your lower section is about the same, if it’s too big, fold it up in thirds or double fold it if that makes sense :)

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

i think so, if the bottom is bigger I should it up to the crease once or twice before folding over the crease as in 1:14 is that right?

[@muzvid]

@@paperkawaii By trial and error, I found that folding in thirds works. Folding twice makes the strip too narrow and adds bulk.

[@indamukong]

Ft his was unusually short... 😅 thanks for making it to be short and ezpz

[@w_zql]

Cute

[@bot_1235]

[@espanafamily]

Definitely not for 8.5x11 paper

[@theresedignard4267]

Exactly my problem. It only works if you fold the side panels again. I think the copy paper (large) may work. Otherwise we need to pull out our metric ruler and cut things down from a larger sheet.

[@theresedignard4267]

If you take the final fold and double it back on itself in half so it does not interfere with the flap, I had success. Though it increases the thickness and creates a bit smaller envelope than her 8.4x 11.88 sheet begun with. :)

[@blimalevilcaa.3560]

que vueno?
