Isn’t it awesome that a piece of paper can be transformed into a handy dandy origami box with just a few well placed folds? Since it’s so awesome, it almost appears to be impossible, but let me tell you it’s totally possible and I’m going to show to you exactly how it can be done. Afterwards, I’ll show you how to make a lid for it. After all, what’s a box without the lid. Yeah baby!
Just follow the easy step by step instructions and you’ll be able to make this origami box. It’s not hard at all, but you’ll need to look at the pictures carefully to make sure you’re doing everything correctly.
Step 1: Start with a square piece of origami paper. If you only have regular 8.5×11 paper,
follow these instructions to make a square sheet.
Step 2: Fold the paper in half from top edge to bottom edge, then unfold.
Step 3: Fold in half again from left to right, then unfold.
Step 4: Fold all four corners to the center.
Step 5: Rotate the paper so it becomes a square.
Step 6: Fold the top and bottom edge to the center, then unfold.
Step 7: Unfold the top and bottom triangles.
Step 8: Fold the left and right edges to the center.
Step 9: Lift the top part to make it stand up at the crease like in the picture.
Step 10: While holding the top part with one hand, open the left side with the other hand to form one corner of the box.
Step 11: Do the same to the right side.
Step 12: Form the two lower corners of the box also.
Step 13: Fold the top flap down into the box.
Step 14: Fold the lower flap down into the box. That’s it!
