Introduction: No Cut - No Measuring Origami Style 10 X 15cm Envelope From an A4 Paper
You know the deal, you have a really fancy card and you really hate the idea of sending it in an ordinary dull envelope. And you just happen to have a really beautiful piece of paper in A4 size...
No cutting or measuring required. I guess a piece of tape would be useful if you actually send this in the mail.
I take no responsability for items lost in the mail if using this envelope!
