Origami Pumpkin Basket

List of Supplies

  • Colored craft papers/ origami paper
  • A pair of scissors
  • Craft glue

Instructions:

Step 1:

Select a piece of square paper for the pumpkin basket part and a green colored strip for the origami pumpkin basket handle.

Step 2:

Take the square paper and fold it in half diagonally on both sides. Unfold the diagonal folds.

Step 3:

Turn the paper to the other side and make half horizontal and vertical folds. Unfold again. 

Step 4:

Fold out the horizontal and vertical creases and fold it the diagonal creases.

Step 5:

Flatten the origami pattern with the horizontal and vertical creases faced outwards.

Step 6:

Let’s work on the 4 flaps now. Hold any one of the closed sides and align it with the middle crease of the current pattern.

Step 7:

Unfold the last fold.

Step 8:

Open that particular flap through its open side.

Step 9:

Fold the flap along the previous creases and flatten it with the main pattern.

Step 10:

Move to the next flap by turning the current-folded flap to the right or left side.

Step 11:

One by one fold all 4 flaps.

Step 12:

Rotate the current pattern with the narrow side facing down. Turn or fold-out any one of the flaps. Or simply, turn the right flap to the left.

Step 13:

Hold any one of the top-diagonal sides and align it with the middle crease of the current pattern.

Step 14:

Similarly, fold the other top-diagonal side.

Step 15:

Notice the narrow middle part. Fold it all the down and align it with the open edge of that side.

Step 16:

Fold in the extra part of the last fold inside the pocket.

Step 17:

One by one turn all of the 4 sides and fold them similarly.

Step 18:

Fold the narrow part of the current pattern in half and then unfold again.

Step 19:

Carefully open the current origami pattern through the open end.

Step 20:

If necessary, apply glue on the open-end folds so that they are secured nicely.

Step 21:

Open up the whole origami pattern neatly to give it a pumpkin-like look. Fold the green strip 3times to make the basket handle.  

Step 22:

Attach the green handle with the origami pumpkin basket on the top side.

Step 23:

You can trace and cut out leaf and vine patterns to decorate the pumpkin basket.
