Craft: Origami Garbage Bin |

| Source: www.origami-club.com |
Another neat way to recycle newspapers is to fold an origami garbage bin!
I have only managed to make one so far. Because I don't subscribe to the local newspaper, I made mine from an advertising poster. You can sometimes get free movie posters at the video rental place, they have them rolled up in a basket behind the counter here and are FREE for the asking!
Follow the HOW-TO provided on this link
which gives a step by step diagram OR an animated version!
VERY handy little useful origami. If you have a cold your tissues could be thrown there and the whole thing discarded to prevent more germs! In the kitchen it would be handy for peels if you can't compost them! In the craft room or in the CAR! The possibilities are endless!

How clever! And thanks for the animated diagram. I followed the animation to make my first petit box from a 4 x 5.5" piece of scrap paper and then moved up to a page from a junk mail catalog (how pretty!). FYI the animation is more helpful the first time because you get a visual of how the paper is supposed to look. When I used the diagram to help me recall the steps, I was glad to have see the process via the animation.

Hi Melody, I LOVE IT! I was wondering how you got the direct link to the Garbage Bag. I looked at some other things on their web site and tried to bookmark the directions but all the pages I looked at had the same web address, their Home Page. Can you share your secret for getting the direct web address to instruction pages?
Thank you in advance. bette

I had no newspaper so I used ordinary sheet of paper just to try it. It worked well. I loved it but mine did not look as nice as yours. Probably the paper was a little too stiff.

Great Idea.
Just made one but used a smaller sheet of paper.. Going to try a few more sizes and use them for transplanting. Fit nicely into my trays.
Thanks for the idea.

First thing I imagined when I saw this was to make it a little smaller and used for place settings with little treats. My mind is swimming!
