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.
