Description:
My mom gave me this folded origami-like envelope that she's had in her stash, and I unfolded it to figure out how to make more. It's neat because it forms two places to hide notes or small flat surprises. See the photo above and these tutorial links below, thank you @SuZignomeMoM : Origami Envelope Origami Envelope It should be made with 1 sheet of 12"x12" craft paper, which can be double-sided or one-sided. The finished product is approx. 4"x4". This will have to be sent inside another envelope. Let's make 1 origami envie for 1 partner and include a note and a small flat surprise.

I don't know of a video, and I said I planned to post a tutorial, so I am working on it :D If people can fold paper, they can do this envie!
