Step by Step Instructions

1. Print the template and cut along the outer border.

2. Trace the template on to the black cardboard. Since the most commercial used paper size to print is letter (8.5″ x 11″) and the size of the envelope is bigger than the paper, you will have to trace the template in 2 steps: first trace it all except the side that doesn’t have a wing, then flip it vertically so you can trace the other side with the wing.
