How to fold an origami handbag

The bottom folds up into a pocket and the top folds down as a pointed flap. A strip folded thin and bent twice makes the handle.

You need: A 15 cm square, white on the back, a 3 cm by 14 cm strip of brown paper, a glue stick and a pen. Medium, 9 steps, about 10 minutes.

Steps

Fold the pocket. Start white side up. Fold the bottom edge up, to a bit above the middle.
Fold the top corners. Fold both top corners down a little on a long slant, from the middle of the top edge.
Fold down the flap. Fold the white top part down over the pocket, folding where the white meets the colour. The corners tuck inside.
Slant the sides. Fold the left and right edges behind on a slant, more at the top than at the bottom.
Handle: new sheet. Set the bag aside. Take the brown strip, coloured side up.
Handle: fold in half. Fold the strip in half lengthwise, the top half behind.
Handle: in half again. Fold it in half lengthwise again, bottom up, to a thin strap.
Handle: bend the ends. A third of the way in from each end, fold the end down on a slant, so the strap makes an arch.
Glue on the handle. Glue the ends of the handle behind the top of the bag.

Draw a round clasp on the point of the flap. Slip a tiny paper note or a sticker inside the pocket.
