I posted a picture to my gallery of three projects we did at my Upline's last month - SEE HERE - and several people have PMd me and left comments about how this pouch was made, so I'm posting this thread to share the technique.
Thank you for the pattern. Im new to SU. Can you please tell me what size you start with and if it is square?
Thank you. I tried it but it doesn't look right,

It's just an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock. I used regular copy paper first to get the folds right...you'll get it! :-D
Soooo---if it is an 81/2 x 11 piece...in order to get the triangle shape you end up folding the paper and cutting off the left over on the end correct???? Or am I missing something???
Thank you :p
I have been fiddling with this and I am having a hard time with it. What am I doing wrong?? I even tried cutting and it still didn't come out right?? Maybe it's me but how do you get a triangle out of a rectangle without cutting??
Any time I have seen this done, you start with a square piece of paper. I can't see any way to get a square starting with a rectangular piece of paper--it just wouldn't line up. Starting with a square, this is easy-peasy--the technique is the same as an origami cup. Check out this link: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
HTH!

Thanks for the info--I was making myself nutty trying to figure out the triangel from a rectangle fold--and thanks to you I now know I haven't totally lost my marbles!!

I'm so sorry, I was to hasty and left out that detail. Yes, you do cut off the excess after the first fold to make it a square...Or just cut your paper to 8.5 x 8.5 -- Sorry some of your were having issues! I've been so busy since my new job started...how did I ever have a life when I worked before!?!? :rolleyes:
I made these for treat bags for my grandson's birthday. Stamped navy cardstock with the paisly stamp from Cowboy kid and tgehy looked like bandanas. He was havein a cowboy birthday.

I really liked this idea!! Thank you! I had fun making them smaller to. If you do a 4'' by 4'' piece of paper they make a cute place card and you can put a after dinner mint in them to. When making smaller ones I used the scrapbooking paper because it is a lighter weight and easyer to fold.

What a super idea, I'm gonna try that too! TFS!!! :-D
I make these starting with 8"x8" paper. Here are some that I made with some 8x8 paper from TAC: http://www.ashadeofblue.net/gallery/....php?pos=-6847
We did a Valentine's one for a hostess club meeting and the girls loved it! ALSO, I decorated a banquet table for a church event and folded the napkins like this to put some chocolate kisses inside. Those went over well too!

Happy Stamping!
