It wasn’t just the paper that was expensive, but postage was expensive as well and an envelope, being seen as a second sheet of paper, often doubled the postage cost.
That looks much more meaningful than putting the letter in an actual envelope!
I've always loved the folding of a letter so an envelope is not needed. Wax sealing was popular when I was a girl (late 1960's) & I started a fire in my bedroom trash can with a match!😂🤣
Seems like quite an eventful day 😂
We're you scolded for it?
Almost perfect. For the first letter, you can easily skip the first fold where you fold the paper in half. By not folding the paper in half and just eyeballing the middle, the letter still works perfectly without having a crease down the center where I would write the address. It looks neater too.
Very true! Thanks!
I used this technique today for my pen pal and I loved it, thank you! The 3rd option looks so cute!
came for the folding
stayed for the asmr
Really? What make you feel that way?
@@vectoriadesigns probably the paper sounds and relaxed voice.
This is exactly the video I was hoping to find. For my loved one, I found a lovely wooden box I was hoping to fill with handwritten letters, and I found out that the box is a centimeter too small to fit any of the envelopes that came with this nice paper I got some time ago. This video is going to be a wonderful solution for this!
I'm glad!
Thanks for sharing the 3 ways of folding a letter in itself to be an envelope. The waxed seal is a great touch!
I loved your video! It would be great to have a tutorial for multiple-page letters
Pretty earrings ! I love making wax seals. I love stationary...have my entire life. Love getting & sending mail.
This is perfect! Just what i needed.
Very informative and excellent for small gifts
Thank you for this, this makes sealing a lot easier!
This is a good vid, I can't wait to start writing letters again and these ways to fold your letter is beautiful thank you~
Many thanks for showing us how to do this. BTW. You've got the same theme music as the One Pot Chef.
I have my dad's love letters he wrote to my mom while he was serving in the war back in 1939 (WW2) that I would like to scan onto vintage paper and do this with.. I think it would go well with some of my parent's things I have out in our home. Ty for the clear instructions!
Perfect video, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! ❤
Your first method is the best I've seen so far from several videos by others.
Thank you❣️ Had a letter that wouldn’t fit in the small envelope. ✉️
Love the seal 🦭 wax☺️
My sister has that, but I use what I got, stickers👻🥸🥰
MY MIND IS BLOWN!!!!!!!! thanks for this.
Thank you so much Tinne, that’s so cute I really love 💕 it......could be used in many different ways. xxx Mags
Love this!! Thanks for sharing.
This is very calming to watch😍❤️❤️
Well, it's the first time someone called one of our video's "calming", thank you ^_^
🙋🏼♀️💐My favourite dramas you held those up Ive seen Pride and Prejudice 53 times 🤫🤭
Thank you for the tutorial
Cheers 🇦🇺🐨🦘
Saved so I can practice folding and not forget, thanks for sharing.
G'day Tinne, just found this tutorial and being a Jane Austen tragic I love the look of the envelopes with their seals. Thank you and cheers. :)
Wow this was an awesome video thank you - this is so cool to know💜
Excellent tutorial 😍
I love your accent btw ❤️❤️
So satisfying, I don't know why.
Oh my goodness. I too am a HUGE Jane Austen fan. Love all things Jane including these envelopes. I love sealing with a wax seal and I even have one seal that says Merry Christmas. A nice little vintage find at an antique market several years ago. Can't wait to use the envelope technique this holiday season. Thanks again for another wonderful tutorial!!
Thank you now my Christmas gift letters are so cute ❤
Thank great video and ideas
Muchas gracias 😘
How lovely!!
THATS SO CUTE , Im gunna give my crush a letter 2marow 😊
Another Jane Austen fan here so I really appreciate this tutorial. The envelopes are adorable and easy enough to make with your tut! Thank you! xo
I love the seal. It makes the letter special, secretive, what is being sealed? Love the mystery. 😊😂🌹
Love it.
Awe so cool. I love, love Jane Austen too!! I will definitely try these letters!!! More fun ways to use my wax seals!! Thanks so much!!
Muchísimas gracias, los he hecho todos ❤🎉
Yeah then it looks like you made an effect👍💜
Thanks for sharing this info. I had forgot a couple of those folds so I appreciate you making this video. New subscriber ☺
A lovely tutorial, thank you! A useful tip I have used over the years is to have a very thin smear of sunflower oil on the metal seal to prevent it sticking, especially to the new 'plasticy' sealing waxes.
Thank you!!
Fantastic tutorial - so easy to follow and a wonderful speaking voice to boot!
TFS! Love your enthusiasm!
These are so cute, thank you for the tutorial x
I love Jane Austen too!
Very cool! I love your presentation!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, Tinne! I have tried them all, not sure which is my favourite. I've just finished a vintage journal and added a few of these, they are so much more fun than the regular way of folding. I don't have wax or a seal, but that's okay because this way they can still be used to write in. I have included a link to this video in the description box of my video and gave you credit. Thanks again, Debbie :)
Thanks, Debbie! (my favourite is the smallest one).
Now I just have to hope that postage will work with these examples
Thank you Tinne. They will be tried by me for sure.
First video I've seen from you and I have to say you are awesome!
Awww, you're making me blush ^_^
Thanks for this great tip.
Love this, are the original freebies available anywhere?
I'm terribly obsessed with Jane Austen as well! These foldings are lovely. I'm going to have to try them out. :)
Enjoy, Natalia!
Not it inglish
That "V" is my wax seal!! How cool it looks on a video. I just love wax seals so much! They look so romantic to me :)
Oooh, I love these letter stamps!
Kassandra Karnstein I have love in Chinese.
Good narration...
Hello. What is the paper that you use? The link given wouldn't work.
How do you open this letter without damaging the letter?
Growing Older With Jane Austen is a fascinating read, allowing a great parade of characters to take their turn centre-stage.

Love this, tfs
I usually use the “fern fold”. Almost the same.
me gusto
Love this video!! very helpful!! i was wondering what kind of paper you used it seems different than other kinds of paper
TFS. Lovely ☺
Fabulous tfs... 😊
You are a goddess! Thank you so much. I want to try and sell crafts at fairs since I just love the hobby as a pastime.
what paper size are u using here?
Is this "Vectoria Designs" from Etsy, one of my favorite shops??
It is, it is ^_^
When I was in high school. I used to write letters to friends, and fold the paper this way and use stickers to close the paper. I wished in the 1980s to 1992 I wish they had washi tape.
How do I open that seal without tearing the letter...??
Nifty neat!
how do you deal with the seal tearing from the paper? Like, not breaking , but destroying the paper instead.
Hegedus Ivan Perhaps you can heat up (hair dryer) the wax seal so it’ll loosen up and you can open the letter without tearing the paper.
I had the exact same problem when I was using standard ink jet paper. I found some very cheap specialty paper on Amazon that is very heavy and sturdy, and holds up to seal breaking.
Nice one
what dimensions should the paper be?
I used about 8 1/4 inch x 11 inch papers, that's 28.7 x 21.2 cm
But sir, would you mind telling how this work..?
I mean where can I write ,etc.
You write the letter on the paper, then fold it inwards to hide your writing. Then put address and stamp on the front....not the wax seal side!
And she's a lady, not a sir! 😘
I tried to use these methods on a letter with two pages, and it was a little bulky and uneven. Is there a method that is best for multi page letters or?
Therese Tormey yes you tie them with a sring then you put on the was. 👍
You're so sweet and adorable! 😊
Love this, would it be ok to post?
Yes, go ahead!
Nice 2:04
When I try to seal, the wax goes through the paper .what kind of paper is that
I love the first one but I worry when I write to people they’ll rip it thinking it’s an envelope haha. Think I’m going to try number two
Jamie Watchorn how Did it go?
My wife calls me Mr. Darcy all the time... lol
I always worry if i fold my letters like this and send it , it would get damaged.
No hablen en ingles
Love this video!! very helpful!! i was wondering what kind of paper you used it seems different than other kinds of paper
If I had to wager a guess, I think she's using A4 paper which is used in Britain and Europe. It's meteric and you can probably order it from Amazon.
