• Start from RRmRmRUmLmLmDm
  • For definitenes we suppose that the front tile of the basket is a backslash tile, connected to its adjacent tiles through its right side and bottom side
  • Close carefully the configuration into a 3x1 rectangle. This entails a bit of stretching on the strings, with the former front tile of the basket becoming a flap
  • The rectangle can be opened into a flat configuration. This is one of those considered here as "planar face-up configurations" and covers an area of six squares (two of them are a stack of two non-adjacent tiles) that we can imagine contained in a 3x3 square with three horizontal rows (south, center, north) and three vertical columns (west, center, east)
  • Position it with the protruting flap tile in the south-west corner of the 3x3 square and connected through its east side
  • lower the two northern tiles with a 180 degrees valley fold
  • Turn right a single tile on top of the stack of three tiles in the central position of the 3x3 square with a 180 degrees valley fold
  • Turn down the two top tiles of the stacks in the central row of the 3x3 square with a 180 degrees valley fold
  • The resulting configuration is flat and covers an area of five squares
  • By appropriately hinging the top tiles of the two stacks both about their north side and opening in 3D we obtain the final shape
