You can make unusual folded envelopes with curved flaps from construction paper or left over gift wrapping paper. You can also make a simple magnetic foam envelopes from craft foam and two strong magnets to store yours school supplies in your school locker.
Too see the template bigger, please click here. 1 piece of wallpaper 23" x 26" (although any large paper would do), pencil, ruler, scissors, and paste. If this is envelope for your students' craft work, first draw a template so that they can trace yours. Draw envelope pattern (sketch a) on wallpaper, with a ruler, and cut out. Fold sides of envelope to center, overlapping as shown in sketch b and then paste them together. Fold bottom section up and paste. Fold top section down (sketch c). Write your name on envelope.
