woven origami boxes

over the summer i began weaving leftover origami scrap paper. now they have become little stacking boxes. the weaving has been cured with a water-base sealant to help make them stiff and sturdy with a heavy gray paper to secure the edges.i think they're pretty both inside and out but i'm not sure what  they will be used for...maybe a box for barbie accessories? legos?
there is always a sea of little things floating around my house
p.s. mama bear has a new home in germany! see the wonderful philuko blog

Really pretty! I love when origami is useful. My boyfriend got a page-a-day origami calendar for Christmas last year so our house is full of little bits of folded paper ;)
