Easter Crafts

Cheep and chirpy crafts

Easter, Christmas and Birthdays tend to be expensive times of the year. My favourite presents are thoughtful ones, so the simple thought entered my mind, CRAFTS!

All you need are a few little trinkets - keep it small, sweet and simple
Origami/coloured paper
Tissue paper
Seasonal decorations

Now I bet you're thinking 'Origami, scary!' but nothing could be further from the truth.
The origami box is one of the easiest and prettiest crafts, so don't be scared, give it a try.


So here we go:



Step 1: Take a piece of origami paper 26cm x 26cm, colour side facing down (any square size will work and any paper can be substituted according to preferred size

Step 2: Fold into 4 squares horizontally and vertically

Step 3: Fold each corner into the middle

Step 4: Take the left edge and fold in towards the middle crease

Step 5: Repeat with the right edge and unfold both sides

Step 6: Take the top edge and fold in towards the middle crease

Step 7: Repeat with the bottom edge and unfold both sides

Step 8: Take the top edge and unfold (it will now resemble a house)

Step 9: Repeat with the bottom edge

Step 9

Step 10: Take the right and left edge and fold in towards the middle to strengthen the crease

Step 11: Take these two edges and stand them vertically

Step 12: Take the top corner and fold it into the middle, taking into account the creases just below the corner. You will begin to see the box shape appear.

Step 12

Step 13: Repeat with the bottom corner

Step 13

And there you have your very own simple origami box for you to fill up with treats and goodies. Try to make it as pleasing to the eye as you can by adding shredded tissue paper and seasonal decorations to make it the perfect little gift for friends and family!
