Step-by-Step

    Seal the long side of a business envelope.

    On the long side cut at 4 1/8" from both ends using a paper trimmer, making two pockets.

    Repeat steps 2 through 5 for other pocket.

I grabbed a #9 envelope, so I just cut it in half to make my 2 pockets, just under 4.5"x4".

I would just add them in a small cello bag then put it and the pocket itself in a bigger cello bag.
