 History of
Origami
Origami of Classic and Traditional Origin
Paper was first invented around 105 A.D. in
China, and in the sixth century was brought to
Japan by monks. Handmade paper was a luxury
object for a few, and paper folding in ancient
Japan was primarily for ceremonial purposes,
mostly religious in nature.

 By the Edo period (1603–1868), paper folding
had become both recreational and ceremonial in
Japan, sometimes featuring numerous cuts and
folds. It came to be recognized as a modern art
form allowed by the invention of paper, both
mass – produced and more affordable.

Modern Origami
 Akira Yoshizawa, who died at the age of
94 in 2005, is believed to be one of the
progenitors of modern origami. In the
1930s, using a series of symbols, arrows
and diagrams, he developed a method of
folding patterns.

 Those patterns were published and widely
available by the 1950s, leading to the
global scope and standardization of origami.
Yoshizawa and other masters of origami
founded local and international organizations
which promoted the craft.

How to make Recycled origami Basket?
Procedure
1. Remove the fold from the section of your paper to
each of the 12 inches x 22 inches of each page.
2. Fold each
page along its length in half, then into eighths. The
resulting rectangular strips should be about 1-1⁄2
inches x 22 inches. You 're going to. need a lot of
them.
3. Start by weaving, as shown, the centers of four
strips. A single staple or a glue dot can be placed at
each overlap to hold it in place if necessary. 17
4. Continue to weave strips to your choosing
dimension. Example 10 strips x 8 strips (overall 15
"x 12")
5. Simple fold all strips up at 90 degrees for the
side of the basket, and continue weaving. Make
sure your strips remain tightly woven. In doing so,
be patient.
6. Bend your side strips at the corners, and
continue to weave along the adjacent edges. Glue
or staples are especially recommended for holding
things in place. 18
7. Add a double-folded strip along
the top edge. This could add force
to the top rim. Glue over the inside
of the basket.
8. Add a ribbon to the basket for
decoration along the four sides.
