About this fold
Four real flaps meet in sequence to make a wide paper envelope with a closing point. The moves are short and forgiving, so it is a good place to begin. There is no timer and no score — the estimate is only there so you know roughly what you are choosing.
Design note: An original single-sheet guide by QuietFold.
