1. You need a paper rectangle.
|
|
|
2. Turn it over and fold it in half.
|
|
|
3. Open the paper up again and fold each side to the middle crease.
|
|
|
4. Now fold the paper in half the other way.
|
|
|
5. This is now how the paper looks. Open it again so that is again like in step #3.
|
|
|
6. Now fold the top and bottom to the crease in the middle.
|
|
|
7. Open the paper back up and lay it lengthwise in front of you.
|
|
|
8. Fold each of the corners to the next vertical crease.
|
|
|
9. Now fold each flap up until you reach the bottom of each corner fold. The picture shows how it should look now.
|
|
|
10. Insert your thumb in each of the corners and press inwards. This will cause the side walls to stand.
|
|
|
11. When done correctly, it should look like this now. It is a half of a box with 4 side walls. You may wish to pinch the corners together and smooth the paper some if it does not seem to stand straight.
|
|
|
12. Cut a strip of paper and glue inside of the box. It can now be used as a miniature basket.
