Writing mail is hard.

You need all kinds of stuff (envelopes, stamps, “time”) to send even the simplest message. It’s no wonder that so few people write personal letters anymore. Letterfu wants to help you find your inner muse by making it one step easier to send your next missive.

Letterfu provides a set of templates that will let you create letters that are their own envelope. It’s a fun diversion and might just give you a reason to send your first piece of snail mail in ages, if only to show off your wicked new origami skills.

I’m a keen origami enthusiast with a very limited repertoire - generally I fold cranes, small cranes and tiny cranes. I’d had some success a few years ago with printing a graphical design for an origami crane on the top of a sheet of paper, cutting it out and folding it into a multicoloured super-crane.

As such, having discovered letterfolding and sent a number of letters to friends national and international, it seemed natural to try printing designs to the same end. The result is this website.
