Ever since I first stumbled on a tutorial for menko a couple years ago, it has been my favorite & most useful thing to make with origami. That first tutorial was very difficult to follow towards the end and I always had trouble. Yours is very clear & made learning how do do it really easy -thank you!
You are a wonderful instructor !! Yesterday I watched the video, today I watched and made the envelope pausing many times. It turned out perfectly, thank you so much. I am sending it to my Mom for Valentine's Day !!
Just watched the tutorial to make one out of lightweight Christmas scrapbook paper for my sister's keychain that I made her!! Thank you so much, and amazing instructions!!
Ha, Ha - I had so much fun.I am using my Menke for my friends that are pet owners, for cats/kitties I put in 'treats' -different than dry cat food. :) For the dogs, some of them are big and I bought some BEAUTIFUL 'Whimsy' paper, lovely glitter on various designs; turned out the 'paper' was thick CARD STOCK !! ha,ha ~ The first I made turned out bad; I got to thinking about the creases. I just finished a BIG one, gently creasing and it holds a Dog Treat Bone! Thank you
I know someone who made big menko from thick paper and then used them as placemats hahaha! Thank you for this video. Your tutorials are very clear and your voice is relaxing :)
+Leyla Torres (OrigamiSpirit Videos) My second grader gave a presentation this morning. She chose to talk about origami. Afterwards, I handed her the little Menko. She opened it up to discover the little note congratulating her on a wonderful job. She just LIT UP with delight and surprise. That sweet moment was made possible only by your super clear instruction late last night. Perfect.
Thank you soo very much!!! Fabulous video, very helpful. Loved the explanation as you do it and camera work perfect and timing of your instruction the perfect pace. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. :) I didn't want to have the diagonal bends on the back, so I just did the 4 necessary bendings to divide the square in nine small squares. When doing the model, I ended up finishing it without the diagonals on the bottom side. ;)
Thank you so much for the wonderful demonstration, Leyla! I think I am going to try and find out the right paper-size in order to make it a CD-cover, among other things. This is a lovely model.
Les recomiendo mucho este video, a un que la señoria hable en inglés te enseña con la paciencia de Dios. Literalmente, vi muchos videos en TikTok y UA-cam, y ninguno me sirvió. Esta señora es muy buena. Mis bendiciones . GRACIAS
I had a little square leaflet 9x9 cm that goes along with a larger present, so I used the wrapping paper 27x27 cm to make the envelope. Thank you for the video, best regards from Germany :-)
First off, it's a beautiful model, thank you Leyla for sharing it with us. Second of all, you could use the model as a container for a gift of money for (as an example) a birthday, or if using paper that is dual color (but split diagonally) it could hold a love note for Valentine's Day. Or with red/green to hold a gift for Christmas. Also, depending on the size of the central square it could be used to hold a CD or DVD if made with a large enough paper.
Leyla Torres buenas noches felicitaciones por la excelente calidad de vídeo y la imagen muy bien explicado paso a paso, este sobre será uno de los modelos que le sobre de regalo de boda de un amigo, si elige este modelo de aviso que publicar algo , usted y una semana FimD impresionante gracias .... y yo soy brasileño
I really love this #origamienvelope design, would be awesome to give a money gift to my niece next time! Also it would be great for a discount coupon given as a gift and anything having to do with a paper gift or wishing card... The seeds idea I think is brilliant! I don't do much gardening so maybe I would put little flat chocolates in it...imagine if those sprouted! And any kind of small sweet that doesn't melt like jelly beans etc ^)^ Thanks so much for this wonderful #tutorial and #giftideas you presented :)
Thank you, it was a very clear and precise demonstration. I made one and put some ponytail hair bands in it, to carry in my bag. Because whenever I need one I cant find one... :-)
Muchas gracias!! Muy buen video y bien explicado! Sigue así, bueno no, yo se que usted puede seguir mejorando! SALUDOS! Un abrazo a distancia, ( nuevo subscriptor).
so sorry to bother you, it's right on the Origami Spirit. :) I have completed my Orange! lol Leyla, I saw back in April I think, I designer simple called "Joe" He had designed a piece that had the name of 'Diamond" Perhaps you recall it? It had less than 5 intersecting Tetrahedia and looked like made of foil paper. Thank you..
Bom dia, Leyla! Adorei aprender a fazer este envelope. Estou pensando em usá-lo para guardar os nomes das pessoas que brincarão de "amigo secreto" este ano. Muito obrigada! Um grande abraço.
I am going to put tiny paper hearts, glitter, and a sticker inside mine. I made a larger envelope with scrapbook paper size 12x12 many more designs and patterns to choose from. Thank you again !!
Please Leyla, where is the video for the upper different types of stems? Thank you very much - my idea is to fit these different size vegetables/fruits inside biger/smaller ones. Thank you for your time. Outstanding video !
Thank you!! this is the best tutorial I have seen
Great instructions, you gave step by step. Much better than a lot of other videos !! Thank you so much.
ESTOS SON TUTORIALES AAAAAA LA AMO SEÑORA

@ Rodrigo Ortiz Buena pregunta, creo que este sobre no se puede hacer en forma de rectángulo siguiendo este proceso. Tendríamos que experimentar.
This is hands down the best ORAGAMI tutorial I have ever seen
@Mary K. Dean I'm afraid I don't know the stems you mention in your question. Perhaps you saw it in a different youtube channel?
¡Eres una buena profa! No puedo hacerlo con otro video, pero tú me ayudaste a completarlo. ¡Muchísimas gracias!

Thank you for this video, i made a note for my wife when i proposed to her using it.
@ TonyRW88 all these good ideas for using this menko, thank you Tony!

You’re the best 😘
If you don't want the folds showing on the back, another trick is not folding the whole diagonal but just at the ends.
thats cute ^^ i feel like im gonna make a lot of those
Love this. Small earrings that come on a card will fit or some stretch bracelets. How about a tea bag or drink mix of some kind.
patty craig I love your idea of using this envelope to give away small earrings... I'll try it myself!
I put chocolate, loved!! Thanks
This video was demonstrated perfectly!
Thank you!
Hermoso menko! guardé aros
