Step One: Cut Chiyogami Paper To Make Layers
In each package of 10 kits, you will receive 10 chiyogami sheets in 8 1/2 x 11 size. Using a paper cutter or scissors, cut two layers measuring 4 7/8 x 6 7/8 inches out of five of the sheets, as shown in the image below. You will need five sheets to make 10 invitations.
Step Two: Cut Chiyogami Strip For Response Folder
Using a single sheet of chiyogami, you will cut strips that measure 1 x 7 inches to border the left edge of the response folder. (For efficient paper use, which is always recommended, you can also use the leftover paper from making the layers, above.) Use a ruler to measure out 10 of these strips on the sheet as shown below. Cut out the strips and save them to glue to the response folders after you've printed them in Step Five.
What To Do With The Leftover Chiyogami Sheets... The leftover chiyogami sheets can be used to make liners for either the invitation or response envelope, or you could cut a band to wrap vertically around the finished pocket fold. The perfect size for a pocket fold band is 1 1/2 x 11. See our Flowering Bronze Pocket Fold article for an example of this band.
Step Three: Glue Chiyogami Layer To Pocket Fold
Adhere a chiyogami layer to the invitation panel of the pocket fold. You can glue or tape the layer using the following:
- Ordinary glue stick
- Glue Marker
- Double-sided tape
Step Four: Print & Adhere Ecru Invitation Card
Download the template below to print the Ecru Invitation Card measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. Place your invitation wording on the template and print on an inkjet or laser printer. (Tip: Use the sample verses on our Invitation Wording page to get started) When you've printed the cards, adhere them to the center of the chiyogami layer on the pocket fold as shown below.

Step Six: Glue Chiyogami Strip To Response Folder
Secure the 1 x 7 inch chiyogami band to the left edge of the response folder. Do this by laying the printed folder flat on a surface, printed side up. You can use glue stick or double sided tape to adhere the band to the folder.
Step Seven: Print Invitation Envelope
Download the template below to print the Summer Sky Envelope measuring 5 1/4 x 7 1/4 inches. Place your finished pocket fold inside the envelope and you're ready to mail your invitations! LCI also carries gold envelope seals which are a nice way to seal the pocket fold or envelope. They are a great accent to complement the chiyogami paper.Download Envelope Printing Template
