How to Make a Hydrangea Box from 4 Parts

Here’s how to make a hydrangea box lid using four pieces.

Lately, I’ve been loving making this hydrangea box lid in soft, pastel colors.

The process is very simple: just fold all four pieces using the same method, then assemble them.

The hydrangea box is a slight variation on the folding method for the flower box made from these four parts.

So, you can enjoy two different box lids.

Folding Instructions

Here, we are using four 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm sheets of origami paper.

First, make the box lid, and then make the box bottom.

Making the parts for the hydrangea box lid

First, fold the origami paper in half.

Then, crease the center of this triangle.

Open it up, align the left edge with the center, and fold it, then fold the top back.

Now, let’s fold it in half again.

Next, fold along the dotted line, then unfold it.

Align the corners marked with red circles.

Once you’ve creased it, unfold it.
Turn it over.

Align the red circles and fold.

While keeping the dotted fold lines in mind, unfold the triangle into a right angle.

And there you have it—the part is complete.

You’ll need four of these in total, so fold three more in the same way.

Connect the box lid parts

Next, let’s put the pieces together.

This piece has two light blue triangles.

Actually, the small triangle is a bit shy.

That’s why it hides behind the big triangle next to it.

Take two pieces and tuck the small triangle inside the large one.

Push it all the way in.

When you turn it right side out, you’ll see two squares overlapping.

Then, connect all four pieces together.

Let’s continue and turn them into hydrangeas.

Insert the diagonal sections into the light blue background.

Do the same for the rest.

And there you have it—the hydrangea box lid is complete.

Make the bottom of the box

You can easily make this using the folding method for this adjustable-size box.
