To begin with, you will need colored paper (square sheet), you can take a pattern or ornament and scissors.
We need to outline the basic flex lines of the future envelope. To do this, we fold the leaf in half, stroke, weighed, then bend-stroke-sprinkling diagonally.
Next, take the right half of the sheet and bend the edge to the midline, exaggerating.
Again bend the edge, but already to the previously obtained line, weighed. After that, we put the sheet and fold it horizontally in half, exaggerating
I turn over our sheet to get a rhombus with lines on the upper right edge. We repeat the same lines on the left side, bending and flexing the edge, as they did before. All lines for our envelope are ready.
We fold the upper corner, as shown in the figure, and then bend the edges along the bend lines.
Zigzag we fold the top corner, then bend the top so that its edges coincide with the lines of the side strips.
We curb the side parts to the center on the lines in the figure and sweep the bottom corner.

Fold three sides of the envelope - three angle to the middle, and leave the upper fourth part unchanged. Put the envelope for lining paper and circle carefully. Then cut the resulting outline.
Reveal our envelope and put the lining into it. If the edges face a little, cut. Smooth lining is glued using bilateral tape.
