Sometimes you don’t have any envelopes, and even more often you probably find yourself with the wrong size envelope. Of course, you could always just head to the post office, but it hardly seems worth it for the one envelope you need right that second. With just a few clever folds, you can turn your letter into its own envelope, write the address on the back, stick a stamp on it and go. Of course, we wouldn’t recommend this method if you’re sending something sensitive like a cheque, but if it’s just a friendly letter to Grandma, this will do in a pinch.

P.S. Check is American; cheque is Australian. Copy/paste isn’t always enough… ;)
