Make A 5x5" Envelope from Standard Paper

Hi there!

Have you ever had an instance that you just don't have 12x12" paper and need make an envelope for a 5x5" card?  Well, today was one of those days for me.   I was had just finished up a Birthday Card for one of my friends and went to make out the envelope....Ugh!  No 12x12!

No paper? No problem.  I went straight to my stash of 8 /12 x 11" and though, "I can do this"

What you will need:  a scoring tool of some sort, 8 1/2 x 11" paper (obviously), scissors and glue.

​

1. Score at 1 1/2" and 7" along the short side (8 1/2)

2. Turn and score at 1 1/2" and 6 3/4 along the long side (11)

3. Trim 3/4" off of each side. 

5. Trim then corners on the inside of the score line so that you have some space for folding over neatly when you glue it down.

4.  Now you just gotta fold at the 
the score lines.

When pressing down make sure that you start at the center and work your way out to the sides.  

6.  Use a corner rounder on the corners. Fold over some of the side is need be to make the cut.

7. Glue it all Down. Sides to longer bottom.

And your done.

See!  That wasn't so hard, was it?  Congratulations now you can make your own 5x5!
