  Step 1

  Decide how big you want your gift envelopes and find something that size shaped like a circle. I used Pyrex food containers. Since I had a picture but not a tutorial to go by, my sizes were kind of an experiment, so I tried two different sizes. The smaller circles were a little over 3 inches in diameter and the larger circles were a little over 4 inches.

  Trace your circles four times on different sheets of scrapbook paper.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut your circles out.

• 

  Step 3

  Fold the circles in half. This will help you get an idea of how your gift envelope will come together (the look a little like a group of Pac-Mans, don't they?).

• 

  Step 4

  Fit your circles together so that one side of each circle goes over and one side goes under. They will fit together the way that you would close a box without tape.

• 

  Step 5

  Draw a light pencil mark on the parts that overlap (the flaps).

• 

  Step 6

  Take your unglued envelope apart and going one circle at a time, glue the portion that was marked.

• 

  Step 7

  Erase any remaining pencil lines.

• 

  Step 8

  Fold the top the same way you glued the bottom (as if you were closing a box without tape).

• 

  Step 9

  If you'd like to add a little extra touch to your envelope, tie it together with some ribbon.

• 

  Step 10

  Stuff with whatever small gift you'd like and impress your friend or family member with your handmade gift envelope.
