These origami star containers, that can double as vases, are a great traditional design to fold. They are made from a single square sheet of paper, the thicker the better. The folds are quite simple and starts from a square base.
They are great for storing little knickknacks. I filled up mine with little glass stones. My daughter wants me to give it to her as she has her Barbie things to store!
They will also make great vases, though the mouth is a little wide, so you will need to either fill it with a whole lot of flowers or insert a small holder. Also, since a vase looks better if it is long, ensure that the last fold (before it is shaped out) is made smaller.
