Traditional pouch

This pouch is a traditional origami folded from a square. It is not difficult at all. It can be used as a gift pouch or as an envelope for a greeting card, for example. It has no closing system, however. It is up to you to add a sticker or some glue to seal it. The side of your square should be a little more than twice the length of your card, for example 30 cm for a postcard. If you do not have a large enough sheet, think of wrapping paper!
