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.
