Cutting and layering pink polka dot fabric

To make cloth inner envelope:
1. Cut a square piece of fabric (8"x 8") and lightly mark the center of fabric (on the un-patterned side).
2. Fold two opposing sides into center of the square and make a good crisp crease and be sure to fold the bottom point so that the tip is half an inch above the center point and make a good crisp crease.

3. Use fabric glue to attach the edges of the two sides and bottom point together.
4. Once the 8"x8" piece of fabric is folded, wrap it in ribbon for a special touch of detail. It will fit perfectly into the 5x7 outer envelope.
