Today, the editor wants to teach something different. Today we will learn to make love knitting baskets. Are you friends not interested in knitting? The difference from the past is that this time origami is weaving, just like knitting Weaving a heart is just like a basket, and the difference is that the shape and color can be changed by using different colors. Come with me to learn how to weave a heart.

Step 2:

Cut a section 3 inches wide (sizes can vary, but 3" is a good enough size to work with kids).

Step 3:

Cut the top corners a little to make them round. This will be the loosening (unfolding) force on the paper.

The shear strip is approximately 3.25 inches long

For a 3×3 woven basket, cut the paper so there are 3 strips. Start cutting upward from the folded edge toward the top of the circle.

Step 5B:

In the next steps you want the white paper to be on top so you can start the checkerboard pattern.

Pry open the layer between strip A and slider 2. Push the white paper past strip 3.
