We can also fold a petit envelope which we usually use for ‘Otoshidama’

(Money which Japanese people [only adults] give to children

as a gift on New Year’s Day, as a Japanese custom!)

Of course, you can make use of these envelopes to put all the little things

such as stickers together in.

We can arrange the regular envelopes that we have at home for Heart-Shaped,

and Blouse-Shaped Envelopes.

 

I’d recommend that you should make these kinds of envelopes,

not only as the envelope, but also as the wrapping bag so you can put gifts in there.

It’ll be prettier than the regular bag!

 

Of course, you can enjoy making them with colorful envelopes or wrapping bags too.

It’ll look more real if you draw some patterns on the Blouse-Shaped Envelope too!

It’s so fun.
