Follow the instructions below to make this Origami Star Box
Difficulty: Medium
You are about to learn how to make an origami star box that is both useful and cute. Instead of spending your hard earned money or allowance on a box in the stores, you’ll know how to make your very own. This box is perfect for your jewelry, coins, paper clips, etc.
I know it looks difficult, but it’s actually pretty easy to fold. Just follow the origami star box instructions carefully and you should have no problem making one.
Step 1: Start with a square piece of origami paper, but if you only have regular 8.5×11 paper,
follow these instructions to make a square sheet.
Step 2: Fold in half by folding the top corner to the bottom corner.
Step 3: Fold the left corner to the right corner.
Step 4: Open the top layer so you can squash fold the right corner to the bottom corner as shown in the pictures.
Step 5: Turn the paper over.
Step 6: Lift the left flap up vertically, then open and squash down like other side.
Step 7: Rotate the figure so it’s upside down.
Step 8: Fold the left and right corners to the center.
Step 9: Turn the paper over.
Step 10: Fold the left and right corners to the center again.
Step 11: Fold those same corners to the outter edges, then unfold to make the creases.
Step 12: Open the left flap and squash fold the bottom part.
Step 13: Repeat for the right side.
Step 14: Turn the paper over.
Step 15: Like steps 11 and 12, fold both inner flap corners to the outter edges, unfold to make the creases, then open the flaps and squash fold.
Step 16: Fold the left flap over to the right.
Step 17: Fold in both flaps at the crease.
Step 18: Fold the flap on the right back to the left, then fold another flap to the left. (Basically flipping two “pages” to the left like a book.)
Step 19: Like Step 17, fold in both flaps at the crease to achieve what’s in this picture.
Step 20: Fold the left flap back to the right so it’s even with two flaps on each side.
Step 21: Fold the bottom up at the corners to create a triangle, then unfold.
Step 22: Fold down the top triangle as shown.
Step 23: Fold the left flap to the right so you can also fold that triangle down.
Step 24: Fold the other two triangles down until you get this shape.
Step 25: Carefully open the figure from the top and straighten out all sides so they’re straight. The bottom should flatten out.
Step 26: That’s it! Easy wasn’t it?
