paper pyramid pouches

I am amazed by how many sweet items can be made from a few sheets of origami paper. I recently constructed these paper pyramid pouches in beautiful orange, gold and red hues. They can be used in a myriad of ways – as little surprise packages adorned with bows, as garland strung on a piece of twine, and more! I think I’ll fill the ones I made today with candy and use as table favors at our Easter lunch.

supplies:

• origami paper
• twine
• hole punch

step 1 – folding

Take a single square of origami paper and fold the top edge down, as shown below.

Flip the piece over, so the folded edge is face down on the table. Fold the left side inward, then the right side. Next, tuck the top of the right side under the folded “collar” of the left side. See photos below.

Now fold the paper up from the bottom and tuck into the “collar.”

Lastly, flip the paper over to its side edge, then flatten the collar, creating a pyramid shaped.

step 2 – finishing touches

Once the pouch is folded into the pyramid shape, punch a hole in the center of the top “collar.” Run a small piece of twine through the hole and tie into a bow.

You can also string multiple pouches onto a longer piece of twine to create a decorative garland.

Fill the paper pyramid pouches with candy and toss them into a wooden bowl, use as table favors for a special meal… the ideas are endless!

The biggest compliment is a little share – pin the photo below.
