Sporigami are small paper bags, made as an origami, without glue or adhesive tape.
They were created to harvest spores, but they can be used to store seeds, that in plastic bags can't 'breathe'.

I knew sporigami on Internet, but I find out that the page is no longer available.
This is my version, let me know if the original Sporigami page is moved somewhere and I will link to it.

Start from a small rectangle.

I used printed paper sheets... but I have been too lazy to change the year ('raccolto' means harvest).
This is a file RTF that you can edit and print.

Fold in two.

---

Make a small fold on the bottom.

---

Make a second small fold on the bottom.

---

Turn over the bag: the two small folds will be behind.
Fold two petals, as shown in the picture, and open again.

---

With the petals opened, fold again two other petals in the opposite direction.
Do not open these folds.

---

Following the previous folds, insert the petals under the big fold.
This is the way to close and open the sporigami.

---

Try it again and again, and soon you will be a sporigami master.
