When made with white paper or parchment, the dividers can hold pills or small treats. Designed and folded by Janet Hamilton.

Editor’s introduction: Even if you, like me, have never tasted an Altoid mint and had no idea that numerous plastic inserts are available for the empty tins, you might still be tempted to buy a pack of Altoids just to fold Janet’s design and gain a tidy receptacle for small items.
I looked at some commercial dividers for Altoids tins and saw that many of them were 3D-printed using plastic that was not food safe and thus not good for use as a pill container. I decided to design an origami version of a divider.
I used white sheets of standard 15 cm kami so there would not be any issues with the ink on the paper. I consider this a great use of those white sheets as well. A 15 cm square of cooking parchment could also be used.
These colorful dividers, test-folded by Dawn Erickson, are ready to hold small origami models, buttons or jewelry-making supplies.
