Easy Square Origami Envelope

I recently indulged in some new square business cards from MOO - the print company I adore. Receiving a MOO card is like being given a gift. (I’ve actually had people ask if they can keep the card, as if it’s something too precious to be given away!) I decided to wrap this delightful little gift with a mini origami envelope. Follow the simple instructions below to fold your own origami envelopes!

MOO square business cards are 2 1/2 inches square and I found that a 5 3/4” square piece of paper created a 2 3/4” envelope, the perfect size for these beautiful cards. You can create a variety of sizes from any type of paper you have on hand. I used a piece of vintage stationary and cut it down to size.

1. Start with any square piece of paper.

2. Place pretty side down, then fold diagonally to make a triangle.

3. Fold top corner of first layer down to bottom fold.

4. Fold right corner a 1/3 of the way over.

4. Fold left corner to meet right corner.

5. Insert left corner into right corner flap --->

6. Fold top point down to form a square.

Have you ever seen such a charming square?

I use my business cards as thank you cards for my shop as well. Try MOO for yourself and receive 25% off your first order.
