How to fold an origami little flower pot
Slanted folds taper a square into a pot, then a pleat at the top slides the wider part down so a thick rim sticks out over the pot.
You need: 1 square sheet, orange or brown on one side. Easy, 3 steps, about 4 minutes.
Steps
- Taper the pot. Put the square coloured side up. Fold the left and right sides behind on slanted lines, so the pot gets narrower towards the bottom.
- Top down. Fold the top edge down in front along a straight line across, about a third of the way down.
- And back up. Fold it back up a little lower. The wider top now sits over the pot as a thick rim with a ledge at each side.
Ready to plant!
Pop a paper flower or a little cactus behind the rim and stand your pot on a sunny windowsill.
