Letter & Envelope Folding

If you have the patience to write out letters in calligraphy, one way to send them that makes the presentation more unique is to fold the letter to create its own envelope - or to fold a special envelope for your letter.

Here is a link to a website that will give you over thirty ways to fold your letters into their own envelopes or to fold papers into unique envelopes - Envelope & Letter Folding. Scroll down the page to the list of links and go to the one third from the bottom that says "Fold Index".

You'll find plain and simple folds as well as advanced folding techniques. The folds are based on origami folds, so you may want to refer to the "Symbols" page listed at the top under INDEXES if you need some help with the symbols used.
