The Envelope and Letter Fold Association is an international group of people who like to fold envelopes and letters. It's related to origami. It's fun and practical to fold your own letters or envelopes and send them through the mail without using a standard envelope. Also a gift is beautifully wrapped in a self folded envelope.
