What is in the SVG

cut outlines; front pieces; score guides. The preview shows the shapes in the file; the drawing beside the size shows the folded shape. It is not a photo of a finished project.

Cut the envelope from red card and the border, blossom and coin from gold card. Fold the side flaps in, glue the bottom flap over them, then turn it over and glue the gold pieces on the front where the file places them. The top flap closes last. A US bill is 156 × 66 mm, so it goes in flat with 9 mm to spare.

  1. Cut the red envelope and the gold front pieces from separate sheets.
  2. Set the thin rust fold lines to Score; the color alone won’t do it.
  3. Fold the flaps in and glue only where the bottom flap lies over the side flaps, so the pocket stays open at the top.

How it goes together

  1. Top flapSideflapBottomflapSideflap

    1. Cut and score

    Cut out the shape and score the four lines around the 90 × 165 mm (3½ × 6½ in) middle. Each line runs straight between two corners of the outline, where the flaps meet. Cut the gold pieces from a second sheet; the file places them on the middle.

  2. 2. Fold in the sides

    Fold the two side flaps in over the middle.

  3. 3. Glue the bottom flap

    Fold the bottom flap up and glue it only where it lies over the side flaps (striped), so the pocket stays open at the top.

  4. 4. Close the top

    Turn it over and glue the gold pieces on the front, where the file places them. Slide the money in, fold the top flap down and seal it with glue, tape or a sticker. Closed, it is 90 × 165 mm (3½ × 6½ in).
