How to Get a Best-Fit Envelope Must have items for assembly:
X-acto knife and
fresh blade
Small detailing
scissors
Tweezers
Small artist's
paintbrush
Small piece of
aluminum foil to use as "glue pot"
Fast-grab,
quick-dry glue. Nicole sells a great one. White
craft glue takes too long to dry and is messy.
Glue stick will work, but becomes brittle and
pops loose after time.
Good cutting
mat
1. Cut out card and
envelope. Fold card in half and place it centered
over blank side of envelope piece.
2. Holding the card in
place over the envelope piece, fold upward the
triangular panel at the bottom of the envelope.
Don't let the card move.
3. Fold the right
triangular panel against the card.
4. Fold the left
triangular panel against the card.
5. Remove the card.
Place a dot of glue to the point of the bottom
triangle and press the side triangles against it.
6. Use the blade tool
to unstick, if glue has moved to the interior of the
envelope.
