| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Cut a 9-inch square from the craft foam, using craft scissors or pinking shears to create a decorative edge. |
| 2. |  Place the square on a flat surface and fold 2 opposite
corners to the center, as shown. Fold up the lower corner so the
edges slightly overlap the side flaps. While pinching the 3
folded flaps together with one hand, secure them from the inside
of the pocket with packing tape. |

front of the envelope with a brass fastener. |

top and one at the bottom, and let the glue dry completely before
packing the pouch. |
