With today's hectic life, very often we can miss important little things. So, for example, if it is necessary to send a beautiful postcard or make a cash gift, it turns out that we forgot to buy an envelope. But you can always find a way out of any situation. In this case, a couple of methods come in handy that describe how to make an envelope for a disc from an A4 sheet or an envelope for money.

How to make a CD envelope from A4 sheet?

Surely, we all have come across a situation where you need to find a CD sleeve. And if the original envelope is lost, there is no problem: you can use a regular A4 sheet.

To fold the disc sleeve, follow these instructions:

Fold the paper sheet in half across the long side.
Unbend the fold - this mark will be the middle of the product.
Fold one short side into a triangle so that its sides can meet in the middle.
Now bend 4 cm inward on both sides.
Fold the workpiece along the intended fold.
Bend the top edge inward to the level of the base of the triangle and wrap it inward.
Fold the triangle upside down.

The CD envelope is ready!

Envelope for disc using quilling technique

To make a paper envelope for a disc, you will need:

Double-sided colored paper.
File.
Cardboard.
Ruler (simple and with circles).
Simple and curly scissors.
A simple pencil.
PVA glue.
Knife.
Spoke.
Toothpick for curling paper.
Beads.

Work order:

To make an envelope from paper for a disc, first cut out a template for the future envelope.
Take the cardboard from which the envelope will be made. Place the template on the cardboard and trace.
Cut with simple scissors, but one edge needs to be cut with curly scissors for beauty.
After the base of the envelope is cut out according to the template, you should “punch” the folds so that they look beautiful on the outside and bend easily. A knitting needle can be used for these purposes.
Next, you need to bend the product and continue working.
On the side of the pocket where the disk will be placed, you need to mark a slot in the middle. Cut with a knife. Apply PVA glue and glue the “wings”. The envelope is ready!
Now you need to decorate it. From orange and blue paper, cut strips 5 mm wide and 30 cm long. Glue them together one at a time. The length of each strip should be 60 cm.
Insert the tip of the strip into the slot of the toothpick and begin winding, making a rotation, starting with the blue color. It is necessary that the turns of paper fit snugly against each other. Having reached the end, place rulers with a diameter of 12 mm in the circle, remove the toothpicks, and let the spiral unravel. Give the roll a teardrop shape.
For the center of the flower, take yellow strips 30 cm long and 10 mm wide. Cut the strip into noodles. If you find it difficult to cut evenly, you can draw a line in the middle with a pencil.
Roll the roll tightly and secure it at the end with glue. Unbend carefully.
Make a flower from the received parts. Make 5 of these flowers.
Glue them onto the envelope.

Gift envelope No. 1

Banknotes as a holiday gift may not be the most ethical souvenir, but they are nonetheless very popular. In order to brighten up some inconsistency with etiquette, it is customary to give banknotes in an envelope. And in this case, you don’t have to limit your imagination when choosing the shape of the holiday packaging by using a standard A4 sheet.

Instruction:

Cut part of the sheet so that you get a square.
Fold the sheet along two diagonals and smooth out the folds.
Bend one of the corners inside towards the center.
Fold the workpiece along the center fold line.
Draw the side angles to the middle of the base of the resulting triangle.
Bend the upper corner that is in the middle in the opposite direction and form a diamond out of it with your finger.
Fold the top triangle along the base line so that the top fits into the diamond.

The envelope is ready!

Gift envelope No. 2

There is a somewhat complex, but more sophisticated option to make an envelope from A4 sheet for money. To do this, follow these instructions:

Fold the A4 sheet in half along the long side and straighten it.
Now fold the top right corner into a triangle towards the center of the fold.
Repeat the previous step for the lower left corner.
Fold the side of the figure so that its edge coincides with the side of the right triangle. Fold the protruding bottom edge over the corner.
Repeat the previous step on the left side.
Now fold the corner again into a triangle to the level of the bottom fold - tuck the corner under it.
Repeat the same operation on the left.

The beautiful envelope is ready!

Envelope with jumper

An elegantly closing envelope with a jumper can be made from brightly colored wrapping paper. However, it is still better to take A4 format for this model.

Instruction:

Fold the A4 sheet across the long side.
Fold the top edge outward so that it meets the fold line.
Fold the resulting rectangle in half again outward and upward.
Straighten the last fold, make a fold along the line of its middle.
Slightly bend the bottom corners of the workpiece outward.
Bring the sides of the figure together along the boundaries of the triangles.
Unfold all the folds and fold the sheet along the right fold in the middle.
Bend the folds of the rectangles outward and inward in 2-4 steps.
Flatten the bottom triangle along the folds so that the outer sides remain in their original position, and the inner ones can fold inward.
Fold the entire sidewall inward at the center of the triangle.
Tuck the bottom corners inward.
Fold the upper part with the tongue and bend it along the lower base of the resulting triangle.
Hide the tongue behind the bridge in the center.

So, we will fold useful origami, this time an envelope for 4 disks and still from one A4 sheet (preferably from waste paper).

1. No, we don't draw cartoon characters - it's a CD and collapse arrows, not a dog's face. Place the disc in the center of the A4 sheet and fold the paper along its outline.
2. Mentally divide the folded sides into three parts vertically and bend back 2/3. To make this task easier for those who may not succeed the first time (or without a ruler), I will say: while bending the sides, 1/3 will shine through 2/3 and you can use it to align all three parts, because We can divide by 2 much better and faster than divide by three. For clarity, I drew a view from the other side.

3. Now we divide the bent part in half and bend it inward.

4. Let's bend the structure horizontally to mark the middle.

5. Place two disks at the bottom edges, working side down. We will place two more disks on them with the working side down (for visibility of the disk cover or down for greater safety).

fire the top and bottom edges of our origami. Let's fold it in the middle, closing the structure and get an envelope.

Explanations

When carrying, it is advisable to staple the envelope on one side.
Due to the upper and lower bent edges, the sides will practically not touch each other - when you fold such an envelope, you will see this for yourself.
You can store them in stacks - due to gravity they will not open. Stapling is not necessary for normal storage.
The design of an envelope with a fastener tail on one side and a pocket for it on the other is not suitable for this option, because the disks will touch much more.

The disc sleeve will perfectly keep the media in proper condition and will protect its delicate surface from impacts, scratches and other possible impacts. Such a medium guarantees the preservation of information. For example, nowadays everyone has digital cameras and a large number of photographs. It is not possible to print all of them, it is very expensive, and it requires a lot of space to arrange the albums. Therefore, a disk-shaped medium is a reliable option for preserving memorable events. In this material we will figure out how to make an interesting CD sleeve with your own hands.

This article will step by step present the creation of an exclusive disc envelope that is suitable for photographs of any event, including weddings, birthdays, and New Years.

From scrapbooking paper

Scrapbooking paper is a wonderful material for making unusual products. The scrapbooking technique itself has gained popularity for its ability to create even for inexperienced needlewomen without special tools.

Material for work:

Thick paper is needed for the base;
double-sided tape;
figured hole punches;
ruler;
scrap paper;
stationery knife and scissors;
details for decoration: beads, ribbons, small pearls.

Let's move on to the master class. On the selected dense material, using a ruler and a stationery knife, make a base measuring 15x29cm. The envelope itself will measure 15x15 cm.

The size of the envelope can be varied at the discretion of the businessman, but it is worth considering that the disc should not roll or be compressed.

The base is folded in half along a thin and even line. To bend dense material, it is better to use a non-sharp object. Scrapbooking paper will serve you well when decorating an envelope. The size is 7-8 cm smaller than the base, a square is cut out. To give a zest to the design, the lower corners are cut off with curly scissors. You can place several butterflies on the envelope; their contours are made using a special contour hole punch. To create the effect of "live" butterflies, the wings are raised. Using crushed pencil lead, the edges of the envelope and the wings of the butterfly are tinted. Care should be taken to ensure that the paintings performed are applied evenly and equally.

Decorative and interior decoration

It is necessary to take two satin ribbons of different colors and unequal in width. The length of the material is equal to the length of the side of the envelope with an addition of 3 cm. A wide tape is initially glued to the scrap paper using double-sided tape, after which a narrow tape is fixed on top of it.

In the middle of the envelope, 2 more small ribbons are harmoniously located, secured with tape and tied in a bow. For expressiveness of the bow, you can place several beads on it. The template is located below.

To keep the disc safe, the inside of the envelope will have a pocket made of scrap paper, cut in the shape of a rectangle. One corner of the rectangle is made with scissors in the form of a semicircle, and the remaining 6 mm are folded inward. This will keep the disc firmly in place.

Using crushed pencil lead, the rounded edge is tinted. Double-sided tape is glued to the curved edges of the rectangle and fixed to the right side of the envelope. Such an envelope will fully fit another disc. To do this, you need to repeat the previous steps only for the left side.

We glue the square, made with decorative trim, onto the front part of the base. And that's it, the envelope is ready.

Made from kraft paper

For those times when you don’t have time to create an elegantly designed envelope, you can make simple envelopes from kraft paper.

Material for work:

kraft paper;
pencil;
ruler;
contour hole punches;
glue or double-sided tape;
scissors.

Description of the stages of work:

On craft paper, using a ruler and pencil, draw a sketch of the future envelope in unfolded form. The picture below shows a good pattern;

Using scissors, the prepared image of the envelope is cut out and folded along the contours to form an envelope;
The sides of the envelope can be secured with double-sided tape or glue;
To prevent the envelope from opening and the disc falling out, the closing side should be fixed. For example, you can make a heart on an envelope under the closing part using a shaped hole punch, and make a slot on the “closure” itself. In the future, you can fold the heart and pull it through the cut line. By straightening the heart, you can get a small but reliable clamp.

To decorate the envelope, you can use crushed pencil lead, rubbing it along the edges of the envelope.

An unusual, but quite simple and affordable paper secret envelope is ready.

This envelope is convenient for making notes about the contents of the disc. It is quite thin and does not take up much space when stored.

You often have to look for a box for a freshly recorded disc, but without one at hand, you can build an envelope for discs from a sheet of “snow maiden” paper in standard A4 format. Since discs are very easy to scratch, learn how to make an envelope for them in 1 minute. Here are a few different ways to fold a paper CD sleeve.

First way

If you have a printer, download this one and print it on A4 sheet without using margins. Next, bend it along the lines according to this figure.

Second way

To get an envelope for one disc, do as in this video

Third way

This method was found on the site http://masteru.org.ua/ and it is also good for creating a single container for a CD or DVD.

This solves the problem of buying boxes for CDs and DVDs. According to my calculations, the cost of 500 paper envelopes is equal to the cost of a pack of “Snow Maiden” paper, that is, 120-150 rubles.

— a very detailed master class by Maria Sedova, how to make a CD sleeve with your own hands. For you, fans of scrapbooking and those who sympathize with them! 🙂

What is the best way to preserve memories of the brightest events of our lives? Of course, photography. We often burn them to discs. There can be a lot of such disks accumulated. How can we make sure that they are preserved intact, and that it is not difficult to find the desired disk among the many available at home? For this we propose to issue DIY CD sleeve with photos. In this case, we will create disc sleeve with wedding photos, but you can design absolutely any disc in this way: photos from your travels, holidays, or just walks. This will not be difficult to do, and in the end you will get a beautiful and functional thing that will help you organize your photo collection.

To create such an envelope, you will need:

- cardstock, cardboard or watercolor paper for the base, scrapbook paper,

- ribbons, semi-pearls, a buckle in the form of a heart made of mother-of-pearl beads,

- figured hole punches,

- ink pad, stamps,

- double sided tape or glue

- scissors, dummy or clerical knife, ruler.

First of all, we need to make the base of our future CD sleeve. To do this, use cardstock; you can also take designer or regular cardboard or thick paper for watercolors. The size of the envelope in this case is 14 x 14 cm, but it depends on your desire. The main thing is that the disk itself fits into it later. So, cut out the base measuring 14 x 28 cm. It is best to do this with a breadboard knife under a ruler on a cutting mat, this avoids marks from pencil lines.

To fold the base evenly in half, you need to make a crease - draw a line along which the fold will go. If you don’t have a special tool, you can use improvised means - a crochet hook, a non-writing pen, etc.

Bend the cardstock along the resulting line. The base is ready.

Now you need to formalize it. Use your favorite scrap paper for this. It is necessary to cut a square slightly smaller than the size of the base, literally 5 - 10 mm.

Decorate the bottom corners with a corner figured hole punch.
