DIY | How to Make Origami Envelopes

July 28, 2016 by Francine Clouden

If you love making your own envelopes, you’re going to adore this tutorial! Custom envelopes are incredibly handy, especially when it comes to adding that personal touch to scrapbook pages, mini-books, or even for giving gifts. The best part? You can make them in any size or style to match your project perfectly.

This tutorial will teach you how to create an envelope using scrapbook paper and origami folding techniques. Origami is such a versatile skill, and using it to make envelopes is a clever way to repurpose your favorite patterned papers into functional, beautiful creations.

Once you’ve mastered this technique, you’ll be able to make custom envelopes for any occasion. Whether it’s for a card, a mini note, or even small keepsakes, you’ll have the freedom to create exactly what you need—whether it’s a specific size or design to complement your project. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to use up your scrapbooking paper scraps, so nothing goes to waste.

All you need to get started is your favorite patterned scrapbook paper, a ruler, and a little time. That’s it! No special tools required, just a simple, fun way to create your own personalized envelopes. You’ll be amazed at how easy and satisfying it is to fold and assemble these beautiful, handmade envelopes. Happy crafting!

BOO Halloween Mini Scrapbook Album

Traci used the BOO to You collection from Bella Blvd. to created this fang-tastic Halloween mini scrapbook album project. I love the cover, it’s shaped like the large BOO die cut letters she used, cut from fun pattern papers with a few embellishments added. The album is all connected together with black O rings.

The rest of the inside pages are rounded rectangles, measuring 7 1/2″ x 4″ covered in more fun pattern papers and lots of darling black kitties, ghosties, skulls and Jack O’ Lanterns in traditional Halloween corners.

Of course it wouldn’t be an album from Traci if she didn’t include her signature interactive elements like flaps, folds and pocket pages. This one is filled with cute journaling cards and tags.

Visit the Artsy Albums blog for all the details and more pics of this fun project.
