I show how to make an envelope out of a piece of square paper. The origami envelope is very simple and easy to make. I used a piece of A4-sized paper that I made into a square but any paper that can be made into a square can be used. There are many different methods to make a paper envelope ranging from very complicated to simple. I think to for it to be of any practical use simplicity will be best for the majority of people. It is an easy model to make but when folding try to make the edges as straight as possible for best results. All it requires is a piece of paper that is a square or can be cut into a square.

Origami is the traditional Japanese art of folding paper. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns.
