Day 4: Origami Letterhead Cards

Materials you'll need:

- 8.5" x 11" Paper -- This is a great way to use up extra holiday letterhead!

- Insert card -- Ours is 4" x 5 3/4", once you have this technique down, you can play with different sized inserts and make the card any size you want!

Step 1:

Fold it in half lengthwise and give it a little pinch on one end to mark the middle Fold the corners in to the middle, so the sheet comes to a point at the top.

Step 2:

Fold one of the opposite corners in so it's edge is against the folds you just made.

Step 3:

Fold the last unfolded edge in half, so it should line up with the last side you folded in. You can keep it there, or fold it backwards to expose a strip of blank paper (that's what we did, so there is space to write a name).

Step 4:

Line up your insert card along the square end, so you know where to fold next. You'll be folding the pointed end of your sheet backwards, along the edge of the insert card. Now you should have a rectangle with a little point at the back edge.

Step 5:

Fold this point over the top of the card and tuck it into the fold at the front of the card. Insert your card into the pocket you've just created and you're good to go!

Happy Holidays!
