Way #1: Origami Heart Paper Envelope

Let’s turn a basic origami envelope into a Valentine’s Day card holder by attaching a smiling winged heart to it.

You can make the heart with the traditional origami method. Therefore, I must call this a REALLY cute and easy envelope craft.

For the Valentine’s Day greeting card, you can cut a plain heart and write your message, “I HEART you.”

The envelope is simple, so you can also try it for Mother’s Day or birthdays.

For the Envelope: One square sheet of paper – $21 \times 21 \text{ cm}$
For the Heart: One smaller square sheet of paper, sized 8cm by 8cm

Way #2: Origami Bear Paper Surprise Card Envelope

This will be a cute origami surprise card and Valentin’s Day envelope. We will be making a simple message envelope, which is easier than the one made in way #1.

The idea is to hide a kawaii polar bear or puppy cutout inside the envelope that pops out when you open the envelope.

To make the cutout 3D, separately attach the arms of the puppy and the hands of the polar bear holding a little heart.

What I love about this envelope is the 2nd color inside. This is a good variation to start with.

You can also hold a heart message card and put a spring inside. So, when you open it by pulling both sides, the gift will pop out.

Way #4: Origami Pusheen Cat Paper Envelope

From two square sheets of paper, craft this Pusheen cat and kawaii Bear face paper envelopes. There will be little heart drawings on the cheeks that make them Valentine’s Day ready.

The idea is to make the cap of the envelope by making the head of an animal, and he envleope by the face of the animal.

You can cleverly make the difference between the animals by folding the ear corner for the bear and not for the cat.

For the cat envelope, you also have to draw the whiskers. You can cutout a heart greeting card and place it inside your envelope.

Way #6: Origami Halloween Paper Envelope

These spooky Halloween envelopes are so fun, cute, and easy. The idea is to craft an origami Frankenstein face, and with the same origami fold, the mummy Frankenstein.

Surprise your friends with a zombie brain Halloween greeting card that the receiver can see by opening the envelope through the hair cap.

On this brain cutout, write “Happy Halloween” in a funny font. To make the mummy variation, you must be good at accurate drawing. One mistake can ruin your envelope.

For the Mummy: You need a square piece of paper that is white on one side and black on the other.

Way #7: Origami Kawaii Cat Paper Envelope

This will be a Friendship Day origami envelope, and the third type of envelope we will be discussing. In this, you unfold the origami, and the message is shown to the receiver.

The idea is to craft a kawaii cat and a grizzly bear with a secret message card.

You can write “Have a Purrfect Day,” “I am Yours,” or any message you want to deliver. Just pull the paws of your origami animal down, and deliver your message.
