Origami Easter Basket

Video Transcript

"In this clip I will show you how to fold an easter basket. This is a design by Aldo Putigano, Putignano sorry, Putignano. And it can be found in the origami handbook by Rick Beech. It requires two sections. This the handle of the basket is the same length as your square. Same length except folded as a cover fold. So this is the handle of your basket, cover folded. With the base of the basket we are going to begin with a preliminary base. And with the preliminary base and the open end on top, we are going to take the top layer and fold down the triangle. Fold down that triangle and then this point of the triangle, we are going to fold back up to the middle, like that. Unfold and take this point and fold it up to the crease that we just made. And then roll, fold it back up, all the way up. So that this edge meets up with the base of your basket. Turn the unit to the other side, and do the same thing. Fold the triangle down, fold the point up to the middle, unfold, fold the point up to the crease that we just made and roll up, and finally edge to the base."
