On the THIRD Sunday of Christmas...

 On the third Sunday of Christmas, Sharon shared with me... an envelope that will never get confused with a bill! This is a great way to package a flat(ish) gift, or to give a special certificate. Best of all, you can make envelopes of all sizes using the method I'm about to teach you.

Measurement: You'll need a square of DSP that is 1" larger on each side than the length of the diagonal of what you'll be putting in the envelope.

Directions

1. Measure the diagonal of the contents of the envelope. Add 1" and cut a square of DSP that measures that per side.
2. Place the square so that it looks like a diamond, with the points pointing North, South, East and West. Refer to diagram below.
3. Place the object that will go inside the envelope in the center of the square so that the top and bottom edges of the object run East and West.
4. Starting with one DSP point at a time, fold it up onto the object, creasing the DSP where it meets the object. Unfold and repeat with each other point.
5. Burnish the creases.
6. Trim the small triangles formed by the creases (these are in the middle of each side of the square.
7. Fold the bottom flap up and then the two sides in. If any of the bottom flap shows, trim the part that shows.
8. Adhere the side flaps to the bottom flap.
9. Insert object and seal the top flap (or wrap with ribbon if giving in person).
10. If mailing and the pattern of the DSP requires it, add labels to address.
