Origami Basket

These origami baskets are fun to fold and useful in all sorts of ways - see some ideas below. You will need a pair of scissors for this model (so it is more strictly kirigami than origami)

These origami baskets are great stuck to the front of home-made greetings cards (especially Easter cards), with a little surprise tucked inside.

Use the origami baskets to make place cards - perfect for an Easter table, birthday party or other special occasions, especially if each one is filled with a little treat!

Make 24 little origami baskets, using scraps of Christmas gift wrap or origami paper, and fill each one with something special (Ideas for filling your home-made advent calendars). Hang them in a line on a piece of yarn strung across the room, or even from the branches of your Christmas tree.

"Whoever you are, there is some younger person who thinks you are perfect. There is some work that will never be done if you don't do it. There is someone who would miss you if you were gone. There is a place that you alone can fill."
