DIY own envelope with seal

The art of letter writing may be gone but it is not dead. Long gone are days of snail mail and the innate and intricate art of letter writing. But slowly and steadily the trend is gaining traction. The trend of penmanship is growing and daily gaining a steady following. 

Hence, I would like to share a simple method of your own DIY envelope to accompany your new found letter writing skill. 

First, you begin by folding the page into half

Open the page and make a fold as below using the previously folded page in half as a guideline 

Make another fold as per picture

Then the final fold

The circle in pen is where you place your seal

This is how it would like with the seal

The reverse is the address of the recipient

Below is a summarized drawing of the envelope folding 

Back in the old days I understand that one page was used as the platform to write your letter and the rear of the page was used as the envelope. Hence, you never waisted paper and there was no need for a separate envelope. Brilliant!. People back then had the most ingenuity. You had to make do with what you had. It was not as simple as going to the store to purchase what you needed back then.
