pockets and envelopes

back to the cutting and folding – not (necessarily) books but could be used to contain a book or book-like/ish structure or somehow incorporated in a book. first an Origami Pocket Envelope which takes a long strip and folds it on itself to make a pocket (bet you didn’t see that coming)

start with a strip 4x as long as wide

squares and triangles

then a Folded Envelope, from a rectangle and just a few folds and what’s a third of eleven, really? although it turns out it didn’t really have to be that exact and in fact maybe making the flaps shorter might have been the way to go

fold corners

and edges

into thirds

and … on a roll, how about also the Origami Wallet? which had a few cuts to be made, but again folds on itself to make pockets and this one she mentioned could be used as pages for a book ah hold that thought maybe for all those cards I made
