So today let’s make a beautiful paper basket and use it as an organizer for small petty things and keep our desk neat and tidy.

How to Make Paper Basket Step by Step

  1. First, we need a yellow sheet of paper. Cut a square using this sheet of paper.
  2. We need a square of around 21cms.
  3. Now divide the square sheet into 9 equal portions horizontally and vertically.
  4. For this, you need to fold the square sheet into 3 portions horizontally and 3 portions vertically.
  5. Now you will see 9 square portions on the square.
  1. Now cut the middle portion on the first and the last horizontal row each.
  1. Keep the middle portion intact.
  2. Next, lift the middle portion and stick the two sides on the middle cut portion.
  1. Repeat the same step on the opposite side.
  1. That’s it now your basket is ready!
