There is an additional fold in this step that is not shown in the photo.  After folding the top two corners down to the center line making an arrow shape as shown in the photo, while still looking at this side of the project, fold the arrow shape down.  After doing this, you will have a rectangle.

This is a fun self-folding-envelope!!  Thanks!

Congratulations on your first. A few typos and spelling errors, and at step 6 (the photo), it's difficult to tell where the edge of the letter is. Aside from these minor problems, it's a good instructable. (So now when you write more instructables, you'll ask people to be nastier to them, right?)
