How to Create a Business Envelope
- 1). Trim 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of your paper to make the sheet 8 1/2-by-9 1/2 inches.
- 2). Lay the paper -- long edge at the top -- on your work surface.
- 3). Measure 4 1/8 inches from the bottom of the sheet and fold up to make the back of the envelope.
- 4). Open the fold and rub the glue stick on the sides from the bottom of the paper to the fold line. Your glue strip should not be more than 1/8-inch wide to keep the envelope wide enough for your letter.
- 5). Fold the bottom back up sticking the edges together as you go.
- 6). Address the envelope and place the letter inside.
- 7). Fold the top flap down and seal the envelope with glue.
