Unfold the beauty of origami (pun intended!) and incorporate it into your special day. Not only is origami gorgeous to look at, it also promotes a happy and prosperous marriage. These simple origami folded envelopes are the perfect way to add a unique and elegant touch to your table setting, without spending a lot of money! Hand-fold card stock, add glam gold geometric designs and place your wedding dinner menu inside for guests to discover.
Each takes about a minute or two, so grab some friends to help out!
Start with a square piece of Black Cardstock. Fold diagonally to make a triangle. Then, fold the top corner of the first layer down to the bottom fold.
Next, fold the right corner a 1/3 of the way over. Then, fold the left corner to meet right corner.
Next, insert the left corner into the right corner flap
Next, trace the outline of the open envelope onto a Gold Geometric Luncheon Napkin. Then cut out the shape to create an envelope liner.
Open the envelope and insert the liner in the back portion of the envelope. Glue it in place.
Next, pop out the removable pieces from the Gold Laser-Cut Chargers.
Insert the menu inside the envelope and close it. Seal the envelope with one of the gold geometric shapes using a 1" GlueDots® Extra Large Clear Adhesive Dot.
Then cut up the rest of the Gold Laser-Cut Charger to create a geometric overlay for the front of the envelope. Use the envelope as a guide for cutting the shape to the correct size. Once cut to fit, glue to the front of the envelope.
TIP: Leave the top left corner of the envelope blank, without a geometric overlay. This will be used to add the word "menu", the guests name or a wedding date.
Next, use a gold foil pen to write the word "menu" along the edge of the geometric design. Alternatively add the guests name or a wedding date.
Finally, place the menu onto the place setting for guests to open, revealing the dinner menu.
