Here is how I was shown. Seal Envelope. Stamp both sides. Turn so that you are looking at it 43/4 wide by 61/2 tall...cut off the top, it can be as much or as little as you would like...fold left side in 1/2 inch, do the same to the right side. Now unfold and fold it along the same line in the other direction. Now unfold it again and fold the bottom up by half an inch then to the other side. The double folding just makes the creases good for the next step. Now open the envelope from the top with your fingers...you should see what looks like the inside of a paper bag and there will be little corners at the bottom that are just sticking out. Now take a touch of adhesive and stick those corners to the bottom of the bag and crease in the original crease of the envelope in towards the inside...and there you have it. One word of advice, practice on a plain envelope first and then once you have it do it with the note card envelopes. And by the way, this is a great make and take that is good for selling up the wheels as well as the envelopes! And for added measure, you can either use fancy scissors to make the top cute or tearing is always in!
