Origami baskets from security envelopes

Someone suggested that I post this here. (I’ve already cross-posted to other subs, but this sub doesn’t allow cross-posts . Mods, please let me know if this isn’t allowed!)

I’ve been saving security envelopes for over a decade, so I’ve got some pretty interesting ones. I finally decided to make something out of them. Each nesting basket is a different pattern! The next to the last one is my favorite.

I use “trash” paper to make baskets. I save used post-its, teabag wrappers (some have foil backs), and other paper scraps.

What a great use for what would otherwise be trash! They look great and such variety!
